Tlalli (MH529v)
This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Tlalli ("Land" or “Agricultural Parcel,” attested here as a man’s name) shows a bird's eye view of a circular piece of agricultural land. The area inside the circle is dotted, suggesting that it has been planted or otherwise worked. The lines outside the circle, at the bottom, see to be scribal excess.

It is somewhat rare to have a hieroglyph for a piece of land that is circular. Usually, in this collection, they are square or rectangular.
