Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Detail of folio 60r from the Codex Mendoza. Lower half of page. Fifteen-year-old girls face their future. The fifteen-year-old girl undergoes her wedding ceremonies. At the bottom, a torch-lit procession accompanies the bride to the groom’s house on the first night; she is carried on the back of the female matchmaker. Inside, a feast is laid out: a basket of tamales, a tripod bowl of turkey-meat, and a pitcher and bowl of pulque (fermented juice of the maguey plant). Four aged wedding guests are shown talking. The bride and her older groom, their garments tied together, sit in front of a hearth and a bowl of incense, on the mat on which they will eventually sleep.Wedding ceremony. Below, the bride is carried by night to the house of the bridegroom. Above, the bridal couple sit on a mat with their clothes knotted together. Two old men (left) and two old women (right) are present as witnesses. Shelfmark: MS. Arch. Selden. A. 1 |
