Itzcuauhtzin (MH908r)

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Itzcuauhtzin (perhaps “Golden Eagle”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a noble man wearing a diadem and a cloak, while sitting on a low stepped stool. His clothing is appropriate for his title (in the contextualizing image), Calmecahuatecuhtli. If Itzcuauh- is not short for itzcuauhtli, golden eagle, then another possibility could be a partially phonetic rendering of itzcuahuitl, the obsidian-bladed club, and in that case the eagle's head could be a phonetic indicator for wood (cuahuitl). See our dictionary entry for Itzcuauhtzin for information about the ruler of this name who possibly lends his name to this noble.
