Ixtlilxochitl 008
Artista: Tlacuilo anónimo, tradición texcocana
Siglo XVI · México
Colección: Códice Ixtlilxóchitl
This plate from the Texcocan tradition, attributed to an anonymous tlacuilo, displays a Mesoamerican pictographic composition characteristic of post-Conquest codices. It depicts a temple or ceremonial structure crowned by plants or feathers, alongside offerings of agricultural products in containers and a curvilinear glyph that could symbolize speech or a spiritual emanation. The style is defined by clear outlines and flat colors, serving as a visual and symbolic record of tributes, historical events, or religious practices of ancient Mexico, complemented by handwritten annotations.
