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.
