Plate 122 — Tudela Codex
Artista: Anónimo tlacuilo mexica (Códice Tudela)
Siglo XVI · México
Colección: Códice Tudela
Plate 122 of the Tudela Codex, created by an anonymous tlacuilo in the 16th century, features a striking and profusely decorated capital letter 'I'. Its design combines pre-Hispanic iconography, evident in the feathered elements and circular motifs suggesting shields or ritual attributes, with the structure of a colonial manuscript. This piece is a key example of the stylistic and technical fusion of indigenous art with European forms, constituting an invaluable ethnographic document on Mexica culture.
