Temilo (MH699v)
Compound Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Te (perhaps “Warrior Hairstyle”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a frontal view of a vertical stone with its typical curling ends and diagonal dark and light contrasting lines in the middle. Coming up from behind the stone is a two tone (gray and white) volute or curving object, something like the object held in the hand of Quetzalcoatl but minus the small circles or dots. (See the Digital Florentine Codex< /a> for examples.)

Added Analysis: 

Temilo glyphs deserve further research. Many have a stone (tetl), which provides the phonetic Te- start to the name, and some have a warrior’s hairstyle featured (temilotli). Some have elements yet to be deciphered, such as this one.
