Tonal (MH784v)
This is a black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Tonal (“Sun," "Day," or "Solar Animating Force,” attested here as a man’s name). The glyph looks something like a flower with eight petals radiating out from a small circle at the center. This sign resembles some sun signs and some stars.
