Ben From the Tzolkin

This glyph is Ben which means "reed" and is the thirteenth day of the Tzolkin calendar. (At first I saw it as gapped teeth which helps me identify it. Now I realize the 'teeth' are probably shoots ready to come up out of the ground).
Below, you can see it on page 71 of FAMSI's Madrid Codex:

See it on the upper left? And then again in the compound glyph on the upper right?
