Tlatzilini (MH660v)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description:

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Tlatzilini (“Bells Ring”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph is a large, European-type of bell, like the kind made for churches. It has crosshatching across the lower opening and horizontal hatching across half of the bell, giving it three-dimensionality, which suggests European artistic influence.
