Icnocihuatl (Verg13v)

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name--or, more likely, status-- of Icnocihuatl (“Widow,” attested here as borne by a woman) shows a profile view of the head of a woman looking toward the viewer's right. The distinctive feature of this woman's face is her wrinkles, meant to show her age and therefore to suggest that she is a widow. Her hair is presented in the classic form, with locks tied up so that the tips are above the forehead.
