Scene 21, right side of a double page

"Here we honored them and feasted them, when they divided the lands and assigned to each one of us what belonged to us, as is stated in the letters-patent of this grant." [Source: Frederick Starr's English translation of the text found in the corresponding scene in the version he saw in the pueblo in 1898, published in his The Mapa de Cuauhtlantzinco (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1898), p. 18] Starr's footnote: "None of the pictures has been identified as No. 20. No. 21 is marked in this series upon a continuous picture which extends across two sheets. In this double picture five chiefs are represented as carrying food to a banqueting table, at which, under a bower, the Spaniards are feasting. The chiefs carrying a jar (of pulque or honey), fruits and small birds, a deer, eggs, a small animal – perhaps a dog. The plates are no doubt aboriginal. Cholula was famous for pottery and fine examples of earthen plates are still dug up there, Cortes and a priest are guests of honor at the table. At the right-hand end of the painting are Indians waiting, with hands respectfully crossed over the breast. The names of four of the chiefs who bear food supplies are legible: Cencamatzin, Tepostecatzin, Sarmiento, and Tepostecatzin (the younger). The fifth is no doubt Cacalotzin." [p. 18]
