variantes de cabeza animadas

Spanish to English Art/Literary Archaeology Mexico
El gran jeroglífico que precede a la Cuenta Larga se lee hoy como tziik-haab’. En el ejemplo que se muestra, procedente del Tablero del Templo del Sol en Palenque, se han omitido los coeficientes de puntos para mostrar solamente los periodos representados mediante jeroglíficos con variantes de cabeza animadas que corresponden con deidades específicas.

with a variation in the animation of the heads

Patricia: what I understand is that they kept the shape of the body, but they changed the heads to represent a certain period.
so it would read
"periods represented through glyphs with a variation in the animation of the heads". Hope to have been of help! Just an attempt... :)
