place glyph, Tenochtitlan

place glyph, Tenochtitlan

This glyph has a tepetl as its central feature. Emerging from the top, is a nopalli cactus with fruits. Typically, a glyph with the nopal in this region would refer to Tenochtitlan, and this is confirmed by the gloss, which reads Ciudad de Mexco (Mexico City).
