Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This simplex glyph for an occupation (a construction worker) shows a hammer (tlatehuiloni) in the form of a stick with a stone tied to it. It appears to be shown in profile, facing toward the viewer's right. The term for the hammer comes from our Online Nahuatl Dictionary, not from a gloss.
