Ce Mazatl (FCbk4f8v)

This colorful painting of a simplex glyph-plus-notation has as its focus the date Ce Mazatl ("One Deer," or 1-Deer), in the religious divinatory calendar called the tonalpohualli. The glyph is a deer (mazatl) in profile, facing toward the viewer's right. It is walking along, with its right front leg and its rear left leg both raised, giving it motion. It is walking on the earth with green blades of grass and two pink or red flowers across the landscape. Its coat ranges from light gray-brown on top, to tan, to white on the belly. This dear has hooves with two parts and antlers with multiple points. Above the deer's head is one small circle in the air; it is painted red. This is the notation for the number one (ce).
