This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Icnocuauh ("Humble Eagle," or "Sad Eagle," attested here as a man's name), shows the head of an eagle (cuauhtli) in profile, looking toward the viewer's right. Its eye and beak are open. Running down the eagle's face are three long tears that bring to the fore his humility or sadness (icno-).
