Crow Canyon - Main Panel Area

The central figure might be the Navajo deity ghaan'ask'idii (Humpbacked God). From Schaafsma: "These ye'i wear mountain sheep horns, and their humps, from which eagle feathers radiate, are said to contain seeds and mist. The figure invariably carries a staff." The ghaan'ask'idii is usually defined as the god of the harvest and plenty.

The hourglass (seen above the target circle) usually symbolized Born-for-Water who was the brother of Monster Slayer.
