Macuilxochitl (TK207r)

This painted simplex Nahuatl hieroglyph plus a notation represent the personal name Macuilxochitl (“Five-Flower” or “5-Flower”). This is a calendrical name, drawn from the 260-day religious divinatory calendar (tonalpohualli). It is attested as a man’s name. The simplex is a fan-like red flower with seven visible petals that fade to white at their lower ends. The flower has a tripartite-base painted brown. A single stigma, also painted brown, emerges above the top of the flower. To the left of the flower is the number five, drawn with three short vertical lines and one overarching line that adds two more ones, one each on the right and left. A line connects the number to the flower.
