Tlilayatl (MH842r)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description:

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Tlilayatl (“Black Cape”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a rectangular piece of fabric with an obvious mesh weave. It also has a white border.

Added Analysis:

The other Tlilamatl glyph, shown below, does not have the white border like this one. But there is a TIlma (tilmatli, cloak) glyph that looks much like this ayatl (cloak), and it does have the white border. See below.
