González (1998) classifies the ophidian motifs in: simple ophidians (sometimes forming frets), complex ophidians and amphisbanes, guardians of multiple heads of ophidians and motifs of triangles and hooks.
... ... ...
In this proposal the simple ophidians are always schematic, with triangular heads that have two circular eyes as the only feature. The bodies, of straight contours, are filled with straight lines. These ophidians combine to give rise to quadruple images that form frets.
