·     Features:

o Bottom and right: head and open mouth of AHIIN:

§ Spiral scroll (optionally bold) at the bottom right corner where the top jaw meets the bottom jaw. Note that spiral scroll is a strong indication of CHAPAAT instead of XOOK, but there are a few instances of XOOK with a spiral scroll (e.g. K&L.p20.#1.1&2). However, it’s probably AHIIN, because the eye is a circle divided into two halves, with “crossed bands” in the “bottom” half (now the left half, because the top jaw is open).

§ Eye can have the standard division into a top and bottom half, with crossed bands in the bottom half (but divided “vertically” because the jaws are open, and the head is tilted 90 degrees clockwise).

§ One to three teeth, but minimum of one tooth always seems to be present.

o Top left:

§ MIH. [Dorota: this might not be a headdress – there is no reason to think it is.]

§ One example (Grube-FoGX.p3.fig3b) doesn’t have a MIH, but something else instead.

o Remainder (middle left): K’UH – blood drops can be very narrow, to leave more space for the K’UH head.
