“Boturini Codex- Ribbon on Peregrination: Indian Book on the Origin of the Aztecs” is a high quality reproduction of the Aztec book Boturini Code. The 5.5mx 0.2m book was made on amate paper, which had been made in Mexico since pre-Columbian times. It was folded in harmonica, according to the tradition of pre-Hispanic books. The production presented on exhibition  was made at the same amate paper, made by using a traditional method by Indian artists from Pahutlan.
