Itzamna in the daytime.

He’s also known as God G. G is for Golden Bird. Kinich Ahau is also one of the Palenque Triad Gods designated with Roman numerals, in this case iii.

Among other things, he’s patron God of the number four. In this aspect he commands disease and has control over drought. So nice prayers and juicy sacrifices are probably a good idea.
