BPK-LAC Unprovenanced Column C1

· The BPK-LAC Unprovenanced Column C1 example is the month-name Suutz’ spelled in syllabograms (unusual).
· The JM.p219.#1 example is glossed with the meaning “bat”, but there is no source information given so it’s difficult to know if this is a syllabogram spelling for the month name, or for the word suutz’ referring to a bat (in the context of either an actual bat, or part of a name/title incorporating the word Suutz’). It’s even possible that the JM.p219.#1 example is a (different) drawing of BPK-LAC Unprovenanced Column C1, with the coefficient omitted.
