Tlapechhuacan (MH810v)
This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the place name Tlapechhuacan (“Where They Have Platforms,” or beds or benches) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a frontal view of what appears to be a rectangular yellow bench with two visible legs.

Tlapechtli seems to be a term for various items constructed of wood, and the visual here could fit any one of them.
