Panchimalcatl (MH869v)
This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name or ethnicity, Panchimalcatl (“Person from Panchimalco”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a circle that has internal lines, including smaller circles. It looks something like a bead, perhaps a chalchihuitl (green stone). But one might expect a flag (panitl) and/or a war shield (chimalli) to represent the place name.

This glyph requires further analysis. There is a Panchimalco in the modern state of Morelos, Mexico, and another one in the municipality of San Salvador, El Salvador.
