Tlatquicazolli (MH631r)
This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Tlatquicazolli is attested here as a man's name. The glyph shows a frontal view of two hands, each one holding what appears to be a food serving implement and digging into what may be the top of a (circular) bowl.
