Tecacalini (MH884v)
This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Tecacalini (“He Who Conducts a Siege”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a man in profile, facing toward the viewer’s right. Three arrows pierce his back. A bow appears in the lower left corner of the scene. The man is naked. His arms are raised in front of him, bent at the elbows. He has two marks on his visible cheek, perhaps a sign of distress.
