The head for 6 (fig. [51], t-v) is similarly unmistakable. It is always characterized by the so-called hatchet eye (††
), which appears also in the head for 16 (fig. [53], f-i).
The head for 7 (fig. [51], w) is found only once in the inscriptions—on the east side of Stela D at Quirigua. Its essential characteristic,
the large ornamental scroll passing under the eye and curling up in front of the forehead (‡
), is better seen in the head for 17 (fig. [53], j-m).
The head for 8 is shown in figure [52], a-f. It is very similar to the head for 1, as previously explained (compare figs. [51], a-e and [52], a-f), and is to be distinguished from it only by the character of the forehead ornament, which is composed of but a single element (‡‡
). In figure [52], a, b, this takes the form of a large curl. In c of the same figure a flaring element is added above the curl and in d and e this element replaces the curl. In f the tongue or tooth of a grotesque animal head forms the forehead ornament. The heads for 18 (fig. [53], n-q) follow the first variants (fig. [51], a, b), having the large curl, except q, which is similar to d in having a flaring element instead.
