caballo (Azca29)
This painted black-line drawing of the iconographic example of a horse comes from the scene of the invading Spanish group in 1519. The horse is shown in profile, facing right, and it is drawn by the tlacuilo with considerable detail. The hooves with horseshoes nailed on are an example of the detail. The saddle is rather simplified, but the halter receives somewhat more attention.

Horses seem to have been woven fairly seamlessly into the Nahua repertoire of hieroglyphs, even if this example here is just part of a scene of the Spanish invasion. See below for examples of horse glyphs.

post-1550, possibly from the early seventeenth century.
