Oyohual (MH721r)
This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Oyohual (“Jingle Bells”) is attested here as a man’s name. It shows what may be a piece of fabric decorated with eight bells. They are upright and seem to hang from the cloth. Short horizontal lines come off the sides of the cloth, perhaps fringe or perhaps an indication of visual sound.
