| The jaguar or puma in an expectant croaching position is located in front of a prolongated linear U-shape motif that bifurcates three times and has been considered as a cactus or sahuaro with prickly pear fruits in each branch. It could represent a water stream that takes several channels showing chalchihuitl as a symbol of water. | ||
