Matlactli Omome Miquiztli (FCbk4f7r)
This colorful painting of a simplex glyph-plus-notation has as its focus the date Matlactli Omome Miquiztli ("Twelve Death," or 12-Death), in the religious divinatory calendar called the tonalpohualli. The glyph is a frontal view of a skull, white with some gray shading (showing European stylistic influences). To the right of the skull the notation shows twelve (matlactli omome) small circles connected by lines. These circles (two rows of five and a row of two, as though counted on fingers) are painted green.
