Xaltomaxochitl (MH796r)

This is a black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Xaltomaxochitl, which is a flower from a plant called the jaltomato in English. The plant produces a black to purple berry that tastes something like a grape and something like a tomato. The plant is also used as a medicinal cure for fevers. The name is attested here as pertaining to a woman. The glyph shows a flower (xochitl) with four rounded petals and a small circle at the center, resulting in something of a quincunx shape. Above the flower is a horizontal row of five small circles. These horizontal circles might represent the fruit called xaltomatl, or they could be simply tomatoes, not meant literally but intending to provide phonetic support for the term that ends in -tomatl.
