Yapalicue (MH553r)

This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Yapalicue (“Her Black Skirt,” attested here as a man’s name) shows a frontal view of a woman's body; she wears a blouse known as a huipilli and a black (yapalli) skirt (cueitl). The third-person, singular, possessive pronoun (i-) is not shown visually. The head of the woman is shown in profile. Her hair is in the classic style, with two points above the forehead. Her huipilli has the classic divisions, revealing how it was handwoven in sections. Bare feet extend just below the bottom of the skirt.
