Compound Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This black-line drawing of the compound personal name or possible ethnic/pueblo affiliation, Xochipan (perhaps "In the Flowers" or "Flower-Flag"), shows three horizontal, three-petal flowers (xochitl), each with a tripartite sepal. The flowers are attached to a flag pole and form the vertical banner (panitl), which faces toward the viewer's right.

If this is a Flower-Flag, then the compound would be fully logographic.
