Tlemacuex (MH632r)
This black-line drawing of the compound personal name Tlemacuex (perhaps "Flame-Colored Bracelet," attested here as a man's name) shows a row of beads (cuecuextli) with a hand above (suggesting bracelet, macuextli), and a group of flames (tletl) to the right of the hand.

Manuel Orozco y Berra, Historia antigua y de la conquista de México: 1.pte. (1880), 93, says of the name Tlemacuex: "de tletl, fuego, pulsera de color encendido como de fuego."
