teocalli (Mdz23r)
This element has been carved from the compound sign for the place name, Teocaltzinco. It shows a pre-contact temple in profile, facing right, but with the exception that the crest of the building is shown frontally.

This teocalli (which is the name the INAH staff use for it) is in the archaeological site at Santa Cecilia Acatitlan (jurisdiction of Tlalnepantla, Mexico City). When it was reconstucted, the building at the top was added, possibly drawing from glyphs. Photo by Rebecca Horn, 13 August 2023.
