Xiuhtli (MH900v)

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Xiuhtli (“Comet”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a descending comet (xiuhtli) with two small concentric circles at the bottom, and two dots or very short lines that are perhaps meant to be two eyes. These are inside the smaller circle. The larger circle, almost a halo around the smaller circle, has some short lines inside it, as does the body of the comet, which comes to a point at the top. Surrounding the comet and coming off the exterior are what look like six legs of an insect and five volutes. The latter could represent smoke.
