This colorful painting shows the simplex glyph for the noun totolin (turkey hen). It is just the head of the bird, in profile, facing left. Its eye is open, and its beak is closed. Its snood is red as is the first of six other small round knobs or appendages that run along the top of its head. Red is the color of much of its face, but its head feathers and most of the knobs are a dark gray.
