tlama (MH843r)
This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the noun Tlama ("Physician," "Surgeon," or "Healer," attested here as a man's occupation) shows a ceramic container in profile, facing right. It has a rounded body and a curving handle on the left side. Sticking out of the top of the pot are either medical instruments or plants that were used as medicinals.

The glyph for tlamatqui (health practitioner) is somewhat similar to this one, but it shows a bag or sack with something emerging from the top.
