Itzcoloco (MH730r)

This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the place name, Itzcoloco (perhaps “At the [place of] the Obsidian Blade-Making Tool”). It shows the tool (itzcolotli) for making obsidian blades. It looks something like a pipe, but the hook is meant to hold the stone that is then struck for making the blades. The tool is located inside a building in a frontal view. The building provides a semantic meaning for the locative suffix -co, which is not otherwise shown visually.
