ixtli (MH833r)
This is a black-line drawing of the element ixtli ("eye") taken from the compound glyph Ecaix (see below). It shows an eye in a profile or a 3/4 view, and its stylistics show considerable European influence.

The Nahuatl noun ixtli can refer to eyes or faces, but this visual is clearly evoking an eye.
