ocotzotlazqui (MH812v)
This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the occupation, ocotzotlazqui (pine resin maker) is attested here as pertaining to a man. The glyph shows a round pot sitting on the three stones of what may well be a hearth, which suggests something about how the resin is extracted from the wood.
