Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description:

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Zacatilma (“Hay-Cloak”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a frontal view of a horizontal rectangular cloak (tilmatli) with vertical hash marks that represent pieces of hay (zacatl).

Added Analysis:

This person makes ceramics, so his occupation should read conchiuhqui. The orthography of zacate involves an intrusive “t” at the beginning of the name. For other examples of what Spaniards came to call zacate, see below.
