Cuauhtlapeuh (MH619r)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description:

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Cuauhtlapeuh is attested here as a man's name. This appears to refer to a hunting device, perhaps for catching eagles (cuauhtli). This one looks like it may be a net that one would throw over an eagle.

Added Analysis:

Below are other glyphs for the name Cuauhtlapeuh. Those seem to refer to an eagle hunting trap or hook, in contrast to this net.
