Temacehual (MH624v)
This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Temacehual ("Someone's Vassal" or "Someone's Merit") is attested as a man's name. It shows a frontal view of an upright, right hand that is turned away from the viewer. Surrounding the hand are dots, perhaps suggesting confetti and a celebration of intending to recognize the merit earned.
