Cuauhxico (MH737v)
This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Cuauhxico (Eagle-Bee) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a bird’s eye view of a bee (xico), facing toward the viewer’s left. Below the bee is the head of an eagle (cuauhtli), with eye and beak open, and tufts of feathers on its head and neck.
