Temilo (MH816v)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This simplex glyph of a warrior hairstyle (temilotli) on a man represents the man’s name, Temilo. He is shown in profile view, facing toward the viewer's right. On top of his head is a clump of hair leaning back to the left. It is tied in the way reminiscent of the tzontli glyph. The tie might be a natural leather (at least, it is not obviously dyed red, as they sometimes are).

Added Analysis: 

This Temilo is a tlapaltlacuilo (painter). It is unclear whether he is also a warrior, but at least he has the name that recalls the warrior hairstyle.
