It is one of the four Mayan calendars, the divination, called Tzolk’in, divided into 260 days, divided into 13 months of 20 days each. Each month is represented by a other symbol.
The other calendars are those of Long calculation timethat keeps track of time cycles, thehaabof 365 days, similar to the current and the moon calendar.
