“There are also representations of these Bacabs, individually, in the famous Chama vessels, hidden in shells or a snail, which classifies them as the old God N, (being at the same time, a Late Classic version of Xpiyakok), where a young warrior (who has been equated with Xb'alamQ'e) threatening him with a spear, knife or razor, tries to get him out of his shell, where the shell symbolizes a cave.”
