Added Analysis: 

The color pattern of counters (ones) across this manuscript may be worth following to see what reading order is intended (if any). The three colors of red, yellow, and white for the counters are used fairly regularly in this manuscript. These colors are echoed in the colors of maize and in cardinal directions.
