| Lienzo of Tequixtepec. A Mixtec kingdom
in northern Oaxaca,
under Aztec control in the 1400s. The upper two-thirds is a map of the territory. In the center, the founding couples are seated on jaguar thrones on top of the town glyph (Shell Hill). Below are the ancestral couples and scenes from the town's origin history. In the 1970s, local authorities let historian Ross Parmeter photograph the lienzo, which they guard in the town archive. |
