Cocoxqui (MH848v)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Cocoxqui ("Ill Person") is attested here as a man's name. It shows the upper body and head of a man in profile, facing toward the viewer's left. He wears a cape tied at the shoulder. The semantic indicator that this man is unwell consists of the markings in front of his mouth which probably suggest coughing. These are not the volutes that indicate speech or song.
