Plate 22 upper half.

The white deer on lright upper half of this plate carries the sign for five rows as seen on the first column of the tonalpohualli diagrammed on Plates 1 thru 2. Twelve dots indicate continuation through the other 12 days of the first trecenas. The last trecena on the last quadricena, Atl, ends with Cipactli; a repeat of the first icon in the first trecena.
