Almanac: 106a-106a Frame: 1
This circular almanac pictures Itzamna dressed in the accoutrements of a priest (i.e., wearing a cape and "miter" and holding a serpent scepter). He stands in front of a thatched structure housing a bee and its hive and holds a T501 glyph (representing ha’ ‘water, drink’) in his other hand. Beneath the bee is a vessel filled with offerings of iguana bread and tortillas (represented by two T506 glyphs). Drawing after Villacorta C. and Villacorta (1976:436).
