Ce Ecatl (MH753r)

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph plus notation for the personal name Ce Ecatl (or better, Ce Ehecatl, “One Wind” or “1-Wind”) is attested here as a man’s name. It shows an anthropomorphic head in profile, facing toward the viewer’s right. It wears a buccal mask of the sort associated with the divine force of the wind (Ehecatl), who also typically has vertical stripes on his cheek. Above his head is a short vertical line standing for the notation of one (ce). This is a calendrical name from the tonalpohualli, the religious divinatory calendar of 260 days, each with a day name plus a number from one to thirteen.
