EDITORS COMMENTS
The Codex Zouche-Nuttall is a remarkable pre-Columbian artifact that offers us a glimpse into the rich history and culture of the Mixtec people. This screenfold manuscript book, made of painted deer skin, dates back to the period between 1200 and 1521. Comprising 47 leaves, this codex is divided into two narratives. One side depicts the fascinating history of significant centers in the Mixtec region, providing valuable insights into their political and military achievements. On the other side, starting from the opposite end, we find detailed records of genealogy, marriages, and accomplishments of Eight Deer Jaguar-Claw – an influential ruler among the Mixtec people. Housed at the British Museum today, this extraordinary piece showcases intricate pictography that was used by ancient civilizations as a form of communication. The vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail make it truly captivating. As we explore this photograph print capturing a section of Codex Zouche-Nuttall's pages on display at the museum, we are transported back in time to witness moments of worship and religious practices depicted within its pictograms. It serves as a testament to Mexico's rich cultural heritage and reminds us how art can transcend centuries to tell stories that still resonate with us today. This historic artifact stands as an invaluable link connecting us with our ancestors' beliefs and traditions while offering endless opportunities for research and exploration into one of humanity's most intriguing chapters.
