Description:
A diagram of the lunar months of the Aztec calendar. Each month consists of 20 days. Each month is given its symbol, Nahuatl name, and Spanish description. At the center of the circular diagram is the moon. Below the diagram is a landscape including the city of Tula with two figures moving away from Tula and toward an eagle eating a snake while perched on a cactus. A [native American?] female half reclines on a globe and holds a scepter [?]. Next to her are a quiver of arrows and a crowned shield depicting an eagle and a Mexican temple [?].

Part of Francisco Antonio de Lorenzana's Historia de la Nueva-España (Mexico, 1770) which brought together historical documents relating to the civil and religious history of Mexico. Image title taken from explanation at bottom. Also called the Veytia calendar wheel. Tula is a city near Mexico City. The eagle perched on a cactus was a sign to the wandering Mexica tribe of the site where they were to build their city of Tenochtitlan, now Mexico City.
