"The Lienzo de Quauhquechollan is a large Nahua painting on cotton cloth (lienzo) that belongs to the pre-hispanic tradition of documenting stories of migrations and conquests within a geographic context.... It is probable that perhaps one third of the document was cut off or lost."--Page 2.

"The Lienzo, created by Nahua tlacuiloque (painters), recounts the story of valiant warriors - the Quauhquecholteca - who conquered Guatemala in an alliance with the Spanish. It also speaks to the transformation of the Quauhquecholteca community as a result of their migration to Guatemalan territory."--Page 2.
