ALT Installation view of the exhibition, "Mixpantli: Space, Time, and the Indigenous Origins of Mexico," on view from December 12, 2021–June 12, 2022 at Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The view looks down the length of the gallery. Three cases are visible and overlapping: in the foreground, a vitrine holds Moctezuma's carved stone funerary offering box and two jade pendants; behind this first vitrine, a second holds a stone sculpture of the Mexica deity Xiuhtecuhtli, whose back faces the viewer; in the background, a pedestal holds an atrial cross from Tlaxcala, its surface carved with an image of Christ at its center and the stations of the cross down its arms. Projected onto the far wall is a detail image from the Florentine Codex. The illustration depicts Indigenous celebrants dancing and playing musical instruments.
