Raptor imagery was used to reflect military might in Mesoamerica. A mirror back in the exhibit sports a dart-armed owl found at Teotihuacan.

A war shield featuring a similar emblem has been connected to Spearthrower Owl, a Mayan warrior who enjoyed military success in the takeover of Tikal, the catalog reveals.
