Cuauhchita (MH634r)
This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Cuauhchita ("Eagle-Net Bag") is attested here as a man's name. It shows the head of an eagle in profile, facing toward the viewer's right. Its visible eye and its beak are open. The feathers on its head are both curving and spiky. At the site of the eagle's neck is a net back (chitatli) with a tie below the top. The tie has been pulled somewhat, creating wrinkles (three-dimensionality), which is highlighted with vertical lines around the tie.
