Tizatlacuilol (MH732v)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description:

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name, Tizatlacuilol (perhaps “A Chalk-Painting” or “A Chalk-Writing”), is attested here as a man’s name. It shows something that looks like a bug with six curling legs, a little head, pairs of stripes going horizontally with squiggles in between, and some vertical stripes with tiny circles in between.
