Element from a Compound

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This glyph for the adjective piyaztic (straight, narrow) is shared with the compound glyph for the personal name Tepiyaz. It is two vertical, stone columns. They are rounded with rectangular tops and bottoms. The artist added shading to give them a curving, three dimensionality, showing the influence of European artistic stylistics. These are also European-style columns.
