The Sacred Signs of the Count

A pictographic representation shows the head of the Crocodile Cipactli: original Mixtec/Nahuatl. The first sign of the 260-day ritual calendar, representing a primordial aquatic monster or the earth itself., rendered in vibrant green, red, and yellow with a purple circular element.

An intricate Mixtec glyph features an intertwined "A"-shaped frame—a traditional symbol used to denote a "Year"—alongside a golden-yellow loop, a green and orange circular element, and a striped staff. This likely represents a specific year-date or a formal name associated with ritual objects.
