No elements found.

This scene on folio 18 recto shows a hill or a mountain with a cave inside and a deer on top. The hill is painted a light brown on the outside, with a darker brown for shading on the exterior, at the base, and for the entrance to the cave. The text above the hill states that what appears here is the land of Xocotitlan and the tlaxilacalli (barrio or smaller settlement) of San Francisco. The text inside the cave suggests that we are seeing a place called “Texcalteopantitlan,” the location of the land that is the property of the people of the altepetl. [SW]
