T7.

T8. The head of God B is attached to the body of a snake 



which is so devised as to encircle a body of water. In the 

 head dress of God B is the retrorse water Hly, and from 

 the four corners of the lake there are protrusions sug- 

 gesting what Rands (1953) identified as the "mammi- 

 form water lily." I would support this identification and 

 suggest that the water lily in this context takes on the 

 meaning of the directional trees, colors, winds, etc., 

 that are typically Mayan. The association between the 

 water lily and the serpent was pointed out by me (1979), 

 and the serpent may be Hapi Kan, There is a seed 

 pouch in his right hand. The festival is u hanli.
