Listeros,
Some time ago one of you asked me about a Maya glyph depicting
"his/her workshop/workstation."
I had found this somewhere and promptly lost it in a HD meltdown.
While looking for something else, I chanced across another very
similar glyph in Dorie Reents-Budet's 1994 "Painting the Maya
universe: royal ceramics of the Classic Period," on p. 123. The
glyph is incorporated into Barb MacLeod & Dorie's Ch. 4: The art of
calligraphy: image and meaning.
This slightly differed from "my" original glyph in that there is an
abstract "eyeball" within the main body whereas my previous glyph
had what looked like a clenched fist (right hand facing viewer) in
the main "screen" and my glyph lacked a prefix on its left side and
subfix under the screen.
I hope whomever was looking for this will be satisfied with this
uncommon glyph.
Cheers,
Bruce Rogers, earth scientist on a good day & flack epigrapher
