Tlamaca (MH499r)
This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name and occupation Tlamaca ("Serves Food") is attested here as a man's name. It shows the head of a male in a frontal view, which is unusual. The other thing that separates this male from the typical tribute payer in this census is his haircut or hair style.
