Lienzo Seler II Coixtlahuaca II in the Ethnological Museum in Berlin

The museum has displays on the ball game, religion, and pre-Columbian items. One of the most impressive is the Lienzo Seler / Coixtlahuaca II — a kind of map painted on cotton around 1520-56 in Oaxaca, Mexico. It is extremely rare and well-preserved. It is only revealed for 16 minutes at the start of each hour.
