Xochiteotl (MH670r)
This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Xochiteotl (perhaps “Flower-Divinity”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a frontal view of a large flower with four petals and a circular center. Surrounding this flower are triangles and squiggles, perhaps contributors to the sense of the divinity (teotl). Above the flower are unidentified objects, perhaps stems, other plant materials, or some additional contribution to the teotl of the name.

A number of hieroglyphs in this collection, with varying elements, have the shared gloss, Xochiteotl, a man’s name. Perhaps an aggregation of more examples will help crack the code. Further research is warranted.
