Cihuatlatol (MH745v)

This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Cihuatlatol (or Cihuatlahtol, perhaps “Woman’s Speech”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph builds on the head of the tribute payer himself, with two curling speech scrolls (here, tlatolli) coming out of his mouth. To the right of these scrolls is the head of a woman (cihuatl) in profile, looking toward the viewer’s right. She wears her hair in the traditional style, called neaxtlahualli.
