huehuetl (Azca17)
This painted black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the noun, huehuetl (standing drum), shows a colorful drum with a top horizontal yellow stripe. Below that is a thicker orangish-pink stripe, then a thick black line, a white space, then a horizontal red line. Below that is another black line. Finally, the larger part of the drum is the orangish-pink color again. The legs are stepped, with two point-down triangles cut out of the middle of the leg-base.
