atlan miquiliztli (TR42r)

This multicolored example of iconography show roughly seventeen men in profile, facing toward the viewer's right. Their eyes are closed, an indication that they are deceased. In front of some of their faces are six white circles, each one with a smaller concentric circle inside, also white. These may be war shields, judging from some comparative examples (below). Below their heads are seven stones with their usual oval shape, curling ends, and diagonal stripes of alternating colors (gray and brown). On the left-most stone, a bird is perched in a profile view, looking to the right, with feathers of red and dark yellow, a white eye, and a white hooked beak. Below the stones is a horizontal flow of water with the diagnostic droplets and turbinate shells splashing off the water from underneath, plus five large turbinate shells on the right, on the leading edge of the water. The water also contains three horizontal dark yellow feathers.
