Tolicpac (MH688r)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Tolicpac (perhaps “Above the Tules”) is attested here as a man’s name. It shows an object made from woven tules (tolin). The part of the name telling where (-icpac, above) is not indicated visually. The woven object includes two horizontal rows of the herringbone pattern, but at the right, it comes to a point.

Added Analysis: 

This name sounds something like tolicpalli, a seat of authority (icpalli) made of woven rushes or sedge (tolin).
