Art, Symbol & Imagination
Page from the Codex Cortesianus
Small human figures and dense groups of signs occupy several stacked registers on a manuscript page. The source caption names the Codex Cortesianus and the Madrid museum collection. Churchward reproduces the page within The Lost Continent of Mu. Its manuscript identity provides a firmer description than a general reference to a page of symbolic signs.
