tlaxinqui (MH834r)

This is a black, white, and red drawing of the simplex glyph for the occupation tlaxinqui ("carpenter"). The glyph is a tool that carpenters would use to cut or shave something (incorporating the verb xima). It is like a hatchet, where the triangular blade is tied onto a curving (probably wooden) handle. The red color of the blade may indicate that it is made of copper. The hatchet is facing toward the viewer's right. A cord provides some support for the curvature of the handle near the blade.
