huei miccailhuitl (TR2v)
This example of the pulque festival and month in the xiuhpohualli that is called huei miccilhuitl is included here as an example of iconography for use in comparisons with hieroglyphic writing. It provides examples of what we might call symbols associated with death and a deceased person (miquiztli and micqui), a carrying frame (perhaps a cacaxtli or a huacalli), flowers (xochitl), banners (panitl), and more.
