Teucmicqui (MH491v)

This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Teucmicqui (here, attested as male) has two prominent elements. One is the diadem that represents the word for lord teuctli or tecuhtli. It is shown here in profile, facing toward the viewer's right. The diadem has pattern of mesh-like intersecting lines across the main part, and it has a tie at the back. The other element, to the right of the diadem, is a human eye that is closed, representing a dead person (micqui). The closed eye has prominent lashes across the bottom of the eye, suggesting the eyelid is closed.
