Tenanyocan Tepetl (Azca15)

This compound glyph for the place name Tenanyocan (modern Tenayuca, “Place of Many Ramparts”) Tepetl (“Hill”) shows a hill or mountain (tepetl) with curly-stone protrusions at the top and on both sides at the bottom. The hill is painted brown. Drawn onto the bottom of this hill are two side-by-side stepped ramparts in a frontal view. They are mostly left natural but with some red or pink highlights. The stepped crenellations seem to have doors in them, which is unusual. Running horizontally below the ramparts appears to be something like a ribbon that has two loops. It is pink. Perhaps these loops are an effort to recapture the older way of having a row of circles under the crenellation (see Atenanco, for example).
