f. 12v., Quetlahtepec Tetitlan

This is a place, Quetlahtepec Tetitlan, with agricultural lands that are supposed to measure 800 cords. From this land, the proceeds support the feast day for the patron saint, presumably St. Michael. Two wild, feline animals with claws sit on the land here. They have hides that are stippled with black ink in a way that suggests fur. The rest of their bodies are painted a golden brown and outlined in a dark brown. Shadows fall below and behind them, also painted in dark brown. The foreground has circular shapes outlined in brown paint. They are somewhat reminiscent of animal hides. But two of the circles, drawn in black ink, may refer to the two “tzontli” of cords (i.e. 2 x 400, or 800) that are mentioned in the text. [SW]
