Tlacatecatl (MH729r)
This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name or title, Tlacatecatl (a title), is attested here as pertaining to a man. The elements of the compound include a small nude body (representing tlacatl, person) plus a diadem of the type worn by lords (tecuhtli). The figure is shown in profile, looking toward the viewer’s right. The diadem is triangular and has a mesh pattern. It also has a tie at the back of the head.
