Chicome Xochitl (FCbk4f7r)
This colorful painting of the simplex glyph-plus-notation has as its focus the date Chicome Xochitl (or "Seven Flower," 7-Flower). It shows a frontal view of a flower (xochitl) that has three petals of red fading down to yellow, a green stem, and two green leaves, one on each side of the stem. To the right of the flower and connected to it by a red line, are two horizontal rows of small circles painted red. These circles represent the notation for the number seven (chicome). The bottom row has five and the top row has two more. This is one of several dates that are grouped in a box (see the contextualizing image, below). Typically, a single date will be boxed.
