Matrícula de Tributos
Page from
the Matrícula de Tributos. A document of Mexica origin, it is in
all probability pre-Hispanic. It is now housed in the Library of the Museo
Nacional de Antropología (National Anthropology Museum) in Mexico
City, under the number 3552. This type of document was generally made
on amate (bark) paper, painted with mineral and/or vegetal colors, with
different resins used as an agglutinate, such as the sticky juice of the
prickly pear cactus, on a prepared base made of lime and water. The manuscript
consists of 32 pages, some of which are incomplete, which display the list
of different towns and the tribute they had to pay.
