Quizqui (MH788v)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name, Quizqui (perhaps, “Emergent” or "One Who Came Out"), shows the upper torso of what may be a naked human being in a frontal view and with his (handless) arms up. His head, however, is in profile, facing toward the viewer’s right. This body appears to be in a box, white on the outside and with a dark interior. Perhaps this box is what keeps the man separated from others.
