From section “bmtvsrc4” of FAMSI report #96072 (in Spanish):

Poned en alto la cruz y la bandera: tichhex cruz yetel u panil katun.

Enarbolar bandera: tichh pan ⁒ tichh u panil katun.
Enarbolada bandera assí: tichhaan pan ⁒ tichhaan u panil katun.

Por ejemplo, a "San Francisco" se lo representa con un muro de adobe (xan-), una bandera (pan-), un par de grupas (tzin-), y una olla de barro (co[m]-).

Mayan hieroglyphs

Variant:

historical/residual form of "pan"

I tried to find Mayan pictograms for this with unsatisfactory results: There is no known pictogram reading "pan" (though it is probably composable).

However, given the scarce amount of available information on line, in my opinion we should only trust if a Mayanist clearly informs that a given pictogram means "flag"; no need to make shaky linguistic inferences.
