Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Tepannecuil (if literal, perhaps “Bent Wall”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a wall made from bricks (probably adobe bricks). It is upright with a slight bend in the middle, curving off toward the right in the upper half.

Added Analysis: 

This could be fully logographic or it could be phonetic, if the name should not be translated literally. Further research is required.
