Chichimeca Yaotequihua (MH730r)
This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Chichimeca Yaotequihua (“The Chichimecas’ War Leader”) is attested here as a man’s name. It shows the head of a man in profile, looking toward the viewer’s right. The glyph is really the face paint or tattoo, which has been applied to the tribute payer’s forehead and cheek. The paint involves intersecting horizontal (4) and vertical (3) lines. The horizontal lines are in two groups of two each, on the forehead and on the cheek.
