ihuiamanteca (MH642v)
Compound Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This compound glyph for the occupation of feather worker (here, in the plural,
ihuiamanteca) shows an agricultural tool (huictli) on the left, playing a semantic role for work (tequitl), which also has a phonetic role, providing the “tec” in ihuiamanteca. On the right is a feather device that would be a product that the feather workers would create. It is a group of feathers wrapped in something red, which is bound with perhaps a natural leather tie. Three feathers emerge from the wrapping.
