Matlactli Calli (FCbk4f7r)

This colorful painting of a simplex glyph-plus-notation has as its focus the date Matlactli Calli ("Ten House," or 10-House), in the religious divinatory calendar called the tonalpohualli. The glyph is a house (calli) in profile, facing toward the viewer's right. It is comprised of a group of rectangles. One has a line going not quite all the way across it, horizontally. A tiny rectangle is painted golden. This would be part of the wooden beams that frame the entryway. To the right of the house--and connected to it by a red line--is the notation for the number ten (matlactli). This involves two horizontal rows of five circles, all connected by lines, and all painted green. As the contextualizing image shows, this is one of four dates that are boxed together. Often, single dates have a box around them.
