macuiltecpanpia (MH593r)

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the the name and/or occupation macuiltecpanpia (“keeper of 100,” attested here as a man’s job) shows a 3/4 view of a barefooted Indigenous man in European-type clothing, with his right arm raised, his left arm hanging at his side, and his legs slightly separated. His posture suggests movement. To the left of him are five upright, rectangular banners, facing to the left. Each flag represents 20 people (tribute payers, who often represent a couple and sometimes small children) who are under the watch of this man.
