The distinguished linguist Sam Colop (2008: 95n140) observes that the K’iche’ term tamasul is derived from the Nahuatl language, thus providing evidence of deep linguistic contact between Mesoamerican towns. It means “toad.” In 1977 the zapateco painter Francisco Toledo (1940-2019) interpreted the tamazul figure in a contemporary manner: https://g.co/arts/CLwSUuKuP48rj81z7.  The image was painted in 1977 and it is shared with educational permission through Google Arts & Culture.
