Ocelotzin (GDPO)
This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Ocelotzin (“Jaguar”) is attested here as a man’s name. It is a name in the reverential (with the -tzin suffix), indicating a man of high social status, which the contextualizing image also supports. The glyph shows the head of a jaguar in profile, facing toward the viewer’s right. Its coat is spotted. Its teeth are showing, and its red tongue is protruding.

Ocelotzin was a noble from the area of Tlaxcala. The document aims to establish rights to inherit land between about 1580 and 1600.
