These 5 dark nights are what usually is said to be the 'tears' of the 'Weeping God'. The sun god dies in this period and of course he cries. But in the 5th night he is reborn again, that we can see in the 'nostril' of the puma-head with the last black eye (and in the semicircle in his ear, marking the rebirth of the first half-year). The small dark 'eyes' in the mouth of the puma are teeth, not eyes; the jaw of the sun god is once again starting to devour time.

Notice also that the start of the new regular year, the short end of its henua, is incised like a collar on the puma. And the end of the old year henua likewise is strongly marked just before the first black 'eye' appears. Around the head 12 double-sun signs indicate the 12 months of the regular year, but I do not understand those 5 hanging below his chin.

Below the 'pectoral fish' is a rectangular chamber with the sun in the middle and then perhaps 2 bent henua representing 'summer' and 'winter. This chamber also occurs on the bands left and right of the 'pectoral fish'. All these 5 chambers are connected with 'double condors', like those on top of the left staff creating Y:s. The 5 chambers are balancing the 5 double-suns hanging below his chin. Also the 'pectoral fish', whose body is coloured black, is balanced by the other 'fish' below the podium, because its colour is light.

That there are twice five dark nights as seen in the eyes of the Weeping God could be indicative of the idea that years should be counted in twos, in the same way as we count weeks (fortnight), months (59 nights / 30 days), quarters and half-years. Each double-sun around the head of the sun god represent a month and the months are clearly therefore divided in twos, presumably 'fortnights' (2 * 15 = 30). At the top, above the central puma head, there is a graphic representation of the 12 double-monts, the three on top having more light than the three at the bottom. Two dark semicircles (not quite symmetric) in the ears ('years' = half-years) of the puma might indicate that the darkness is there too, in both his 'years' / ears (though not divided equally).

The hanging heads are elbow adornments and quite possibly at indicating that at the time of the solstices (elbows) sacrifices were made.
