Ce Coatl (MH736r)
This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Ce Coatl (“One Serpent” or “1-Serpent”) is attested here as a man’s name. Ce Coatl is a calendrical name, with a notation for number one and a serpent (coatl). The serpent has a large, protruding, bifurcated tongue. Its eye is open, and its body is spotted. Its body curls in the middle, and that is the point where the thick black line being used for the number one emerges vertically.
