Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Illustration from folio 66 recto of Codex Mendoza, a 16th-century Mexican manuscript depicting the life, art and history of the Mexica, otherwise known as the Aztecs. It depicts the execution of a rebellious cacique (indigenous ruler of a city), overseen by a Huiznahuatl officer, seen at the left hand side of the picture, who may have served as a judge during the trial or witness for the execution. The execution is being performed via strangulation with a rope by two executioners. The cacique's wife and son, depicted at the right hand side, were captured and ensalved, as the text and illustrations show. Both are wearing a collar of servitude (cuauhcozcatl) and the son, below the wife, is depicted with his hands tied together.
Español: Ilustración del folio 66 recto del Códice Mendoza, un manuscrito mexicano del siglo XVI mostrando la vida, arte e historia de los mexicas, también conocidos como aztecas. Ésta muestra la ejecución de un cacique (gobernante indígena de un pueblo) rebelde, observada por un alguacil Huiznahuatl, ubicado en la parte izquierda de la imagen, quien habrá servido como juez durante el juicio o testigo de la ejecución. La ejecución se lleva a cabo estrangulando al cacique con una cuerda sujetada por dos ejecutores. La esposa y el hijo del cacique, en la parte derecha, fueron capturados y esclavizados, como lo indica el texto y las ilustraciones. Ambos llevan puestos collares de esclavos (cuauhcozcatl) y el hijo, debajo de la esposa, es ilustrado con las manos atadas.
