Tetzmolocan (MH769r)

This is a colorful painting of the compound glyph for the place name Tetzmolocan ("Sprouts of the Oak Tree"). The glyph includes a horizontal stone (tetl), which provides the phonetic start to the place name (Te-). The stone has classic features of being one color at one end (in this case, gray) and another color at the other end (in this case, red), with diagonal lines of alternating colors in the middle. The ends are also curling. Coming up from behind the stone are three sprouts of new growth, with red stems and green leaves. These sprouts are from an oak tree, and they are called tetzmolli, lending their name to the toponym in a logographic way. The locative suffix telling where (-can) is not shown visually.
