This is the Instituto Nacional de Antropologia e Historia's own custodial record for the Coyolxauhqui Monolith at the Museo del Templo Mayor, the institution responsible for the excavation, conservation and public interpretation of the artifact since its 1978 discovery. As the holding institution's own standing record it is authoritative for provenance and custody facts. Its limit is that it is an institutional museum record rather than an independent scholarly study, so a claim about the monolith's meaning within Mexica religion, or about the broader excavation of the Templo Mayor precinct it belongs to, needs a separate archaeological or art-historical source engaging that interpretation directly.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier2
This is the Instituto Nacional de Antropologia e Historia's own custodial record for the Coyolxauhqui Monolith, the holding institution's own standing account of an artifact it has excavated and conserved since 1978, hence the middle tier for an institutional self-account rather than an independent scholarly study. NotesThe Instituto Nacional de Antropologia e Historia's own custodial record for the Coyolxauhqui Monolith at the Museo del Templo Mayor; a standing institutional record, not a scholarly publication, good for provenance and holding-institution facts, not for the object's own history or meaning.
