Itzcuin (MH676v)
This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Itzcuin (“Dog”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows the head of a dog in profile, looking toward the viewer’s right. This dog’s face has a black mask over the eyes.

The mask on this dog’s face is not the norm for glyphs for the personal name Itzcuin or Itzcuintli (see below). But one glyph of a dog with black lines on its face is for Xolotl, may suggest the dog called xoloitzcuintli. In this Xolotl glyph.
