Tributos de los pueblos sometidos
Artista: Anónimo tlacuilo mexica (Códice Mendoza)
Siglo XVI · México
Colección: Códice Mendoza
This plate from the Codex Mendoza, a 16th-century Mexica pictographic work, details the attire and attributes of warriors and nobles, illustrating the social and military hierarchy of the time. Its style is characterized by flat figures, defined black outlines, and the vibrant use of primary colors on a light background, typical of pre-Hispanic Mesoamerican art. The work combines iconographic elements and Nahuatl glyphs to convey information about ranks, tribute, and rituals.
