Figure 2. Facsimile of p. 16 (K. 37) of Codex Vienna painted by the author as part of his study of the manuscript. The figures at right are primordial deities preparing for the emergence of the Mixtec people from the magic tree of Apoala (center). The figures above and in the left column are the Mixtec patriarchs. That's a very short reading -- a much longer one was possible in the books original context. Actual size: 10 1/2 in. x 8 3/4 in.
