Chicomaca (MH648v)
This colorful painting of the compound glyph for the personal name Chicomacatl (or "Chicome Acatl," "Seven Reed" or 7-Reed) is attested here as a man's name. The compound includes a pot (comitl), a phonetic indicator for the "co" syllable in the number seven (chicome). The reed (acatl) is vertical, yellow, and segmented. It has two green leaves. The reed stands in the pot.

This is a calendrical name from the 260-day religious, divinatory calendar, the tonalpohualli. If not specifically referring to the calendar, the name can also refer to a medicinal herb called chicomacatl, which probably still also has associations with the calendar. Originally, a calendrical name such as this would have shown the number seven in a notation of dots. Perhaps to disguise that this was a calendrical name, the pot takes the place of the notation.
