Coxoli (MH716r)

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name, Coxoli (perhaps referring to “Pheasant,” which is coxolitli, or perhaps a fan with pheasant feathers), is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a frontal view of what appears to be a feather fan. If the translation is correct, then the feathers come from a pheasant (coxolitli) or the fan of feathers was perceived to resemble a pheasant. The fan shows two horizontal elements and perhaps three feathers rising above these elements. The handle bifurcates below the horizontal element, creating a triangular shape.
