Ngoku ujonge ezinye zeempawu zenkcubeko ye-Olmec, kufanelekile ukubona ukuba banayo inkolo yohlobo oluninzi lothixo kunye noothixo abanxulumene ngokusondeleyo neziganeko zendalo kunye nemixholo yejografi, kodwa ngaphandle koku eli ziko lenkolo yakhe lalisekwe kwijaguar, isilwanyana esisoloko sikhona kubume baso. Ngenxa yokuntsokotha kweenkcukacha kubume bakhe bobugcisa, kuqhelekile ukuba uqaphele ukuba ayizizo zonke izizathu ezibonakalisiweyo.
Omnye we iisimboli zonqulo Ii-Olmecs yayiyiNyoka eyiNsiba, ithathwa njengothixokazi wezolimo.
