Added Analysis: 

This simplex glyph is an example of the "visual loans" studied by Juan José Batalla Rosado (2018, 85). He highlights other examples of imported architectural columns, such as the ones used for the name Temilo (from temimilli, round stone column) or for the name Tetlacuilol (from tetlacuilolli, inscribed stone).
