Title: Page from the Dresden Codex, Maya manuscript. Artist: Unknown
Caption: Page from the Dresden Codex, Maya manuscript. Chromolithograph of a page showing a section of a 'tonalamatl', a sacred season of 260 days. The god Quetalcoatl is depicted several times, including ferrying a woman (centre) and with an axe (bottom left). The original manuscript was probably produced in the first half of the 13th century, and contains tables predicting astronomical occurrences with great accuracy. It was sent to Europe after the Spanish conquest of Central America, and is today one of only four Mayan codices known to have survived.
