The Count of Days

A vivid, multi-colored pre-Columbian codex illustration. A dual-natured entity, likely death-related, with skeletal features and an elaborate headdress sits within a dark, dotted rectangular structure that arches over them. One side of the entity appears skeletal with a protruding bone or nose ornament. The entity holds a ritual tool or object in the left hand. Beside the entity are ritual offerings, including a small seat or altar and a bowl containing various items. A series of colored circles is positioned at the top right. Below, the horizontal border continues with more animal heads and ritual symbols.
