Xochitetequi (MH503r)
This black-line drawing of the compound glyph personal name Xochitetequi ("Flower Cutter," shows a flower (xochitl), attested here as a man's name) with a hand over it, cupping the top of the flower. Presumably, the hand is there to represent someone who cuts (tetequi) flowers into pieces. The flower has three prominent petals with swirling edges, a stem, and two anthers.
