Mocuica Icuilo (MH711r)

This colorfully painted compound glyph is a personal name for a Nahua man, Mocuica Icuilo (perhaps “His Painting was Sung”). It shows speech scrolls coming out of the tribute payer’s mouth. One is red, and it is rising and curling upwardly. The other is yellow, and it is descending but curling upward at the end. A line connects these two volutes, and the same line connects them to a painting. The painting is a vertical rectangle with two identical parts. Perhaps it is meant to be a screenfold. The signs on the painting are like a quincunx flower, each with four petals and four dots, one dot between each petal. These details are colored red, yellow, and white. The two squares on the vertical rectangle are separated and bordered by yellow bands, one at the top, middle, and bottom.
