The Lienzo de Quauhquechollan is a 16th-century lienzo of the Nahua, a group of indigenous peoples of Mexico. It is one of two surviving Nahua pictorial records recounting the Spanish conquest of Guatemala and one of the earliest surviving maps of what is now Guatemala.The cloth was probably painted in Ciudad Vieja, in the modern Guatemalan department of Sacatepéquez, by Nahua allies of the Spanish from the city of Quauhquechollan . These allies had assisted conquistador Jorge de Alvarado in his campaign of 1527 to 1529.
