Chichimecatl (MH794v)
This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal/ethnic name Chichimecatl ("A Chichimec") is attested here as a man's name. The glyph is a bow (on the left) and arrow (perpendicular to the blow and ready to fire), pointing toward the viewer's right. The arrow point is triangular.

The bow and arrow is practically a Chichimec signature. Another recurring feature identified with Chichimecs is the face paint or tattooing across the cheek, involving criss-crossing lines.
