The Mixteca Puebla style has its origins in the cities in the high basin of Oaxaca . After the Mixtecs had replaced the Zapotecs as the ruling culture there, the duality of both cultures produced the Mixteca-Puebla style. The Mixtecs are especially famous for their handicrafts. The codices of the Borgia group, a polychrome ceramic and various mosaics in which the Mixteca-Puebla style was used are particularly worthy of mention.

The Aztecs adopted the Mixtec artistic skills. The commercial and cultural center of Cholula with its important pottery production became the main center of the Mixteca Puebla style under their rule. from there the influence also had an effect as far as the northern Yucatán , where preserved remains of stone and stucco sculpture as well as paintings in Ich Paa show clear influences of the Mixteca-Puebla style, which encompasses large parts of Mesoamerica .

The Mixteca Puebla style is characterized by a high degree of delicacy and diversity.

With the extinction of indigenous cultures by the Spanish, the Mixteca Puebla style also came to an abrupt end.
