Cuauhtlacatl (MH721v)
This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Cuauhtlacatl (perhaps “Forest Person”) is attested here as a man’s name. It shows the head of a man in profile, facing toward the viewer’s left. Surrounding this head are three small trees with vertical trunks and horizontal foliage.
