cycle of 52 uncorrected years represented in the form of a left rotating "swastika". Start with the year 1 Acati, and the then turns left to 2 Tecpati, 3 Calli, 4 Tochtli, 5 Acati, ect. There is a good explanation of the whole composition in Duran and Seler.

Why did you choose to describe it as a Swastika?

I'm assuming it's read counter clockwise, outward in. So that could give a Swastika symbol is traced, but sort of a leap no?
