brushes and pens

[patrick thomas hajovsky]

There may be some information in Sahagun (Book 2?), since he describes
native artists and art production.

Also, there is a lot of archaeological evidence from Teotihuacan.  I've
seen images of pallettes and tools.  If you're interested, I can look up
the bib. later this week.

I've found a bit about Maya brushes and quills, but so far no mention of what exactly the Mexica used to paint their books with. Did they have the same kind of reed-brush as the Maya? Were similar tools used throughout all Meso-American cultures?
