Double Registers 6 (left) and 7 (right)

This Techialoyan manuscript is a member of the subgroup that was made in double registers. Here we see what someone has numbered as double register 6 (on the left) and 7 (on the right). The edges are frayed and have fragments missing; this is especially the case with double register 7. How these leaves were nested originally is open to study, but at some point someone glued page numbers onto the corners of the top half of the double registers. The top left shows a group of three trees. Bottom Left shows a man in colonial garb, standing holding a thin stick, probably mean to signify a staff of authority. The top right shows four indigenous men in colonial-era garb, standing in front of the town’s governing palace. Three of the men hold the same thin sticks, probably meant to be staves of office. The lower right scene shows two men standing near a road. They both have colonial-era clothing, and one holds what may be a staff of office. [SW]
