The placement of the legs and the shape of the Ajaw sign are in Early Classic style similar to that found on the earliest of Maya monuments.

In Maya mythology, corn seeds were first discovered in a mountain cave under an immovable stone. These corn seeds were the buried remains of the Corn God's wife, who represented the corn ear and its seed (Bassie-Sweet 1998, 1999). The contemporary Maya still refer to corn seed as bone and as being female. In order to access the buried corn seeds, a lightning god split open the stone with a bolt of lightning. The creator grandmother ground some of this corn seed into dough, that was then used to model the first humans. The Corn God also used some of these corn seeds to plant the first corn on the surface of the newly created earth.
