Mizquipolco (MH729r)
This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the place name Mizquipolco shows a frontal view of a white building or house, where the entrance is lined with (probably wooden) beams. The beams are white, too, except there is a black square at the base of each vertical beam. The building provides a semantic locative for the suffix -co, in or at. Below the house but partially contained by the entrance is a mesquite (mizquitl) tree.
