Quizqui (MH783r)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Quizqui (perhaps "Emergent" or "One Who Emerges”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a square box with a man’s head emerging out of the top. The head is about the same size as the box. In Western culture, this appears something like a Jack-in-the-Box. The head of the man is shown in profile, facing the viewer’s right.
