Also in the mural of Tepantitla, the “Great Goddess” sits on a throne, or possibly wears an apron, that features three obsidian mirrors surrounded by an arc of stars. This imagery is very reminiscent of the three stars we know today as Orion’s Belt, which were highly revered in Mesoamerica, especially by the Maya who believed they represented the Sacred Turtle and the three hearth stones of creation. The same symbolism is found on the pillars of the Palace of Quetzalpapalotl, where the owl appears to sit on a throne inlaid with three obsidian stones (see fig. W2-0016).

The fleur-de-lis icon is very similar to the one used in Mayan art, which is thought to symbolise the ripening of the maize plant with two leaves peeling back to reveal the cob.

The three cornered stone refers to the maize ear, represented
during the Maya Classic period as sometimes
pointed pendant jadeite celts, occasionally alone, but typically
in groups of three [52, p. 42]. Because the Chilam
Balam refers to creation here, it is of note that the cosmic
hearth of creation, the “First-Three-Stone-Place” id

Interestingly, the X marking is not limited to representations of corn and Mythical Harvesters. Some beans or drop-shaped seeds are also decorated with an X (Proulx 2006: figure 5.231). Another motif that has the X marking is the kidney-shaped fruit (Proulx 2006:165-166). An Effigy Harvester in Figure 12 differs in some ways from the Art Institute example. This Harvester does not have the X or the conical hat, but it still displays dots on its face. It is also shown holding corn. Furthermore, its eyes are located within two depictions of corn-cobs. The artist has placed corn-cobs (which are full of seeds) over the eyes of the main figure, equating both. The juxtaposition of eyes and corn-cobs reinforces the eye-seed metaphor.

A British team of archaeologists on expedition in the Peruvian Andes has hailed as "sensational" the discovery of some of the most sacred objects in the Inca civilisation – three "ancestor stones", which were once believed to form a precious link between the heavens and the underworld.
The find, which was made on an isolated Andean mountainside, provoked joy among local specialists and the experts present from, among others, the British Museum, Reading University and Royal Holloway, University of London. No examples of the stones were thought to have survived until now.

The costume associated with most of these figures is a shirt that appears to be made of metal plates, probably sewn on cloth, and has a jagged or dentate lower edge; a nose ornament; and a headdress with a semicircle over the brow that may have an owl head in the center and/or upward projections at the sides. The owl sacrificer often wears garments different from those of the warrior-if it is the same creature, he may have changed garments-but he sometimes shares the plate-shirt costume with the warrior (Figure 5).
