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
