Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Cihuanemitl (perhaps “Woman-Goes-Around,” attested here as a man’s name) shows the head of a woman in profile, looking toward the viewer’s left. She wears the traditional hairstyle that has points of hair up by her forehead. To the right of her head is a single footprint, heading upwards, representing the verb nemi (to go about).
