 Varies from statue to statue, which decreases the liklyhood that all the
statues represent the same thing, maize or otherwise.

 No you didn't miss it, since it's not been answered, nor has the questions
about how exactly the maize would get there or the fact that not one corncob
has been found that dates to that period, nor is there any answer as to why
no physical description of maize or anything closly resembling it has been
found, despite rather extensivly books on plants dating from the time.
