Ome Tochtli (FCbk4f9r)
This colorful painting of a simplex glyph-plus-notation has as its focus the date Ome Tochtli ("Two Rabbit," or 2-Rabbit), in the religious divinatory calendar called the tonalpohualli. The glyph is the head of a rabbit (tochtli) in profile, facing toward the viewer's right. Its visible eye is open, and its teeth protrude. Its coat is a mottled gray, with the exception that the inside of the ear is white. Above and to the right of the rabbit's head are two small circles painted orange. This is the notation for the number two (ome). This date is boxed in, which is not unusual, even if the box has the shared purpose of setting off the images from the alphabetic text (as can be seen in the contextualizing image).
