The thirteen numerals

The thirteen numbers that pair with the twenty signs. Thirteen and twenty share no divisors, and that is why the count runs to two hundred and sixty days.

How this is made

Each entry shows how the number is written — the Mexica system is additive and uses dots only — its Lord of the Day and its twenty days.
