Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Tlapopolo (perhaps "He Destroyed") is attested here as the name of a man. It shows a frontal view of a hand hovering over a mesh. The intention seems to indicate the destruction of something (tlapopoloa) at the hand of someone.
