Tlecuilhuacan (MH727v)

This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the place name, Tlecuilhuacan (“Where They Have a Fireplace”), shows a frontal view of a building surrounding a fireplace (tlecuilli) that has many curls of flame and/or smoke with a U-shaped rectangular enclosure beneath it. Surrounding the fireplace is a building that tells the viewer that this is a town; it also serves as a semantic visual for the locative suffix (-can). The building is shown in a frontal view. It has a beam-framed entrance, with upright beams on the sides and a lintel across the top. Small black squares appear beneath the upright beams.
