Ce Ocelotl (FCbk4f6v)

This colorful painting of a simplex glyph-plus-notation has as its focus the date Ce Ocelotl ("One Jaguar," or 1-Jaguar), in the religious divinatory calendar called the tonalpohualli. The glyph is a profile of a jaguar (ocelotl) facing toward the viewer's right. It is sitting, with its left front leg raised, perhaps to indicate motion and life. Its mouth is open, and its red tongue is protruding. Its coat is a golden color with black spots. The jaguar is sitting on a green mound. Above the jaguar is the notation, consisting of one small circle painted red. The entire date is boxed along with other dates, and boxing a date is often the case, even if each date is typically boxed by itself. Here, even there is a shared purpose of setting the glyph off from the text on this pages, as can be seen in the contextualizing image.
