Eyi Calli (Mdz2r)

This combined simplex glyph plus notation stands for the solar year (xihuitl) Three House (3-House, or Eyi Calli). It includes a notation of three small circles with dots in the middle representing the number three and a typically sign for a house or building (rectangular, with right angles, and a T-shaped wooden frame at the entrance). The circles are horizontal and located in the top of the black-line box that encloses this date, starting from the top left corner and spreading toward the right. The box and its contents is painted turquoise (xihuitl) which recalls the word for year [also xihuitl). they are homophones, so the color may be a phonetic indicator that this is a year date.
