This is a visual record of the tributes paid by individuals from the town of Culhuacan made circa 1550. This is likely part of a much longer strip; the bottom and top sections are quite damaged. 

The extant part of this tribute record is divided into two columns; each column has six rows, making a total of twelve cells. The reading order is from bottom to top and from left to right. Each cell shows the person(s) who provided the tributes, their personal names in pictographic form, and the items given. On the second row from the top, on the left-hand side, is the place name or toponym of Culhuacan: a hill with a curved summit. This cell shows the tributes paid by three men: Ollin, Coatl, and an unnamed individual. They paid seven tomines, as indicated by the blue coins, chilis, a cacao pod, and two spindle whorls, which indicate labor, the making of textiles. The cell on the right shows a large Coat of Arms of Castile and León, the two kingdoms at the core of the Crown of Castile and the Spanish Empire. This is likely an item commissioned by a Spanish official, made by Indigenous artists. The toponym of Culhuacan is depicted as well on the bottom left cell.
