In frequency of representation in the codices, the god of agriculture justly ranks third, with 98 appearances in the three manuscripts. He is always represented as a young man, sometimes with an ear of maize adorning his head. This ear of corn is on occasions seen sprouting from the hieroglyph of the day Kan, which is the symbol for maize in the codices.

This god was also patron of the day Kan. Of all the gods depicted in the codices, this young deity shows the most craneal distortion, as seen in his forehead, which is greatly extended backwards. The hieroglyph of his name is his own head, becoming at the top a highly stylized ear of corn covered with leaves.

This god was patron of farming, and the codices show him involved in a variety of agricultural activities. He sometimes appears in sculpture, either directly or personified by a priest; for example, on the front of Stele 40 at Piedras Negras he wears an ear of corn as a headdress and is scattering maize kernels over the head of Mother Earth. Or again, on the back of Stele H at Copán, a young god as always. Like the corn he symbolizes, he has many enemies, and his destiny was controlled by other gods - those of rain, wind, drought, famine and death.
