tlalolin (TR34v)
This is a multicolored painting of the compound glyph for the verb, tlalolin (the earth shook). It shows the red, yellow, white, and blue-green quincunx sign for movement (olin). This has a basic X-shape with a stellar or starry eye in the middle, and little rings that recall a ball court at top and bottom. Behind that is a horizontal rectangle, a light gray, with lots of dots, seemingly representing seeds that have been planted.
