Almanac: 50b-50b Frame: 1
This circular almanac features God Y, an earth and hunt deity who is characterized by an empty eye socket (here colored blue). He wears a woven cloth shirt and a deer head as a headdress, with two Kimi glyphs representing skulls at its base. He holds a spear across his shoulders and a hook (used for hunting?) in his other hand. The four directional glyphs frame the scene, which occurs against a reddish brown background. God Y appears to be standing in the grass. Drawing after Villacorta C. and Villacorta (1976:324).
