The glyphs of calendar II seem to be divided in at least two groups. Possibly, though, there are three groups:

9 * 20 = 180
Yc1-3 Yc1-4 Yc1-5 Yc1-6 Yc1-7 Yc1-8 Yc1-9
Yc1-10 Yc2-1
12 * 20 = 240
Yc2-2 Yc2-3 Yc2-4 (240) Yc2-5 Yc2-6 Yc3-1
Yc3-2 Yc3-3 Yc3-4 (360) Yc3-5 Yc3-6 Yc3-7
3 * 20 = 60
Yc3-8 Yc1-1 Yc1-2 (480)

Mercury in Yc2-1 identifies where the first 180 days are ending. He also appears in Yc3-1 (i.e. Yd1-1), where the day number is 300, maybe alluding to how Sun has reached the end of high summer (when we count 10 * 30 beginning at winter solstice). A crack is seen in his 'windpipe' at right.

Koti in Yc3-4 is at day 360. Saturn is the obvious choice of planet. Saturn also rules ua at Yc2-4. 3 * 4 = 12 and 2 * 4 = 8.

Winter solstice possibly occurs at Yc3-7 (where the front 'bar of light' is sloping down).
