Tocuiltecatl (MH727v)

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph stands for the personal name or ethnicity Tocuiltecatl ("Person from Tocuillan"). Glyphs for this place will also sometimes show the same flag, which seems to be associated with the festival devoted to Huitzilopochtli and the fifteenth month, Panquetzaliztli, in the xiuhpohualli calendar. Tocuiltecatl can also be a title that designates a senior civil and military dignitary, according to A. Wimmer (2004) in the Gran Diccionario Náhuatl. The flag is vertical and facing toward the viewer's right, but two black and white pieces (of fabric?) that come off the top of the flag bend toward the viewer's left. The banner itself is largely white with a thick black horizontal stripe and a thin black stripe above and another one below it.
