Compound Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Cuauhyollo ("Eagle-Heart," attested here as a man's name) shows a profile view of an eagle (cuauhtli) head with its eye and beak open. Below this head is a heart (yollotl), drawn with European stylistics.

Added Analysis: 

The name Yollo also means "skilled" or "sharpwitted," so this name might refer to the belief in the eagle as having these characteristics.
