Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Mimihua ("Possessor of Arrows") is attested here as pertaining to a man. The glyph appears to show a nearly horizontal pole with a frontal view of a teardrop shaped sack hanging from it. It is unclear how the visuals connect to the name as glossed.
