Mexica Tribute and Market Scene

This mural recreates the vibrant exchange of tribute and goods in the Mexica capital. Nobles, merchants, and tribute-bearers are distinguished by dress, while maize, tortillas, cacao, and chili are displayed as offerings. The scene reflects imperial control, ritual economy, and the role of tribute in sustaining Tenochtitlan’s power (15–16th cc.).
