Nezahual (MH499v)

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Nezahual ("Ritual Fasting," here, attested as a man’s name) shows a large head of another man in profile, looking toward the viewer's right. The back of this man's head has a slope to it, and so the usual hair at the back of the head is not showing. The right cheek of his face has a large black dot and a smaller one. His facial skin in grayish. Further investigation is required to understand how these visuals convey something about the name, which can mean a fasting, a vigil, or a bloodletting, but perhaps he is gaunt from fasting.
