She is here represented holding in her left hand the sign of the smoke, and darting a javelin emblem of the volcanic energy, and in her right hand she holds the symbol of the "Land of the Scorpion" "_Zinaan_," the West India Islands of our days. The deer head represents the Maya Empire. [4] The legend literally translated reads as follows: [Symbol] [Symbol] [Symbol] that is: _PPeu_, _caban_ for _cabahaan_ has struck again—_bat_—ax.
