Tlacocihuatl (MH747r)
This black-line drawing of the simplex personal name or status, Tlacocihuatl (“Enslaved Woman”), Is attested here as a woman’s name or situation. The glyph shows the head of a woman in profile, facing toward the viewer’s right. She has a yoke around the neck, of the type that were put onto the necks of enslaved persons. It is like a round wooden collar with a stick that goes behind the neck. The woman has tears running down her cheeks.
