Tlahuiznene (MH745r)
Compound Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description:

This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Tlahuiznene is attested here as referring to a man. It shows a vertical battle device or insignia (tlahuiztli). The device includes a post with a bead at the top and, above, that, a small fan of feathers. Going up the left side of the post are (seemingly) more feathers, perhaps quetzalli. Below the device is a frontal view of a face, apparently a nenetl, which could be a doll or a deity figurine.
