Xolotl 007
Artista: Anónimo tlacuilo texcocano (Códice Xólotl)
Siglo XVI · México
Colección: Códice Xólotl
This cartographic-historical fragment, attributed to an Aztec tlacuilo, is part of a codex narrating events and topography of the Acolhuacan region, likely related to the Codex Xolotl. The work combines geographical elements with stylized human figures and architectural structures, representative of pre-Columbian visual narrative. The technique employs pigments on a support that evokes native paper, reflecting the art and historical documentation of the Valley of Mexico before the conquest. Later annotations in French are visible, indicating its European study and cataloging.
