Ca Zan Polihuiz (MH627r)
This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Ca Zan Polihuiz ("He'll Completely Perish") is attested here as a man's name. The glyph shows the head of a man in profile, facing toward the viewer's right. His face is painted black to indicate that he is dead. The tax payer's head is not painted this color, just the glyph above his head (as one can see in the contextualizing image). This name sounds prophetic.
