Citlallach (MH775v)
Compound Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Citlallach ("Star-Ball Court") is attested here as a man's name. The star (citlalin) has eight points, suggesting European stylistic influence, but it also has a round center. Behind the star is an outline of a ball court (tlachtli), like a capital letter "i" on its side, but the ends are not closed.
