Tlanicontlan (MH757r)
Compound Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description:

This is a black-line drawing (with a little added red coloring) that shows the compound glyph for the place name, Tlanicontlan (perhaps "Near the Underside of the Ceramic [Clay?]"). A pink ceramic pot is the main feature of the place name, but a hill or mountain appears behind it as a semantic locative. A flag on a post is standing in the large, round ceramic pot. It appears to be of the type that was associated with the fiesta of Panquetzaliztli.
