Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Folio 71r from the w:en:Codex Mendoza. Alternative final scenes of life’s journey: (1) (top) six execution-victims: (left) a young commoner and a noble youth, executed for drunkenness; (middle) an upper-class woman, executed for drunkenness, and a thief, killed by stoning; (right) an adulterer lying under a blanket with a married woman, both to be stoned to death. (2) (middle and lower) The counters of ten dots and three (x20) banners at the upper centre denote seventy years, the age at which old people, after raising their children and grandchildren, ‘had permission, in public as well as in private, to drink wine and become intoxicated’. The old man at the centre, wearing a green wreath and carrying flowers, has a large speech-glyph perhaps to denote loud singing; below, his aged wife sits drinking pulque, with another picture of an old woman to the right. The couple are each attended by male and female (?grand)children. Shelfmark: MS. Arch. Selden. A. 1 |
