I made yet another Zapotec Toponymic Glyph. This time for the city of Lyobaa, today known as Mitla in Oaxaca.
The nahua glyph for this city, called "Mictlan", represents a skull and a wrapped body. Lyobaa in Zapotec means "Place of Rest" and was the Zapotec religious capital (it’s described as some sort of “Vatican”) and also a burial site for the highest ranking nobles.
As with the glyph for Zaachila, I took the lower part from the toponymical glyphs found at Monte Albán, and the skull is based on a relief carved in the tombs of Zaachila. Those reliefs are typically Zapotec and not Mixtec as it is often believed.
