Perhaps it's a link to the four elements instead of something Mayan specific?  Brick represents earth, vase is water, and dagger/sword go to fire/air in some combination.  I want to say that Harry has done something similar when he was setting up ritual magic before.

Except those are the Greek classical elements. I don't know what the classical elements are in Mayan belief, if they even had any.
You've managed- in our three years together- to kill not only my god, but my father, my brother, and my fiancée. That's kind of like a homicidal hat trick. It's a strange foundation for a relationship.

True, I'm just shooting in the dark.  I was going for an analogy with the elements from Harry's pendant.  The spirit element was provided by the human sacrifices.  Do you think Harry goes off a Greek based magic system then?
