Chicahuac (MH712r)

This colorful simplex glyph for the personal name, Chicahuac (“Strong”), is attested here as a man’s name. It shows a man in profile, facing toward the viewer’s right. He has a load on his back that he is carrying with a tumpline from his forehead. His feet are apart, suggesting movement. His arms are reaching up to touch the tumpline or rope. His is only wearing a loincloth, with just the waistband visible, and it is painted yellow. The basket on his back is striped in multiple colors, alternating red and green. The red stripes have diagonal hash marks. Coming out of the top of the basket are red and yellow feathers. A carrier like this would be called a tlamama, although there is no text to this effect.
