Here is an analytical drawing of the Dome/Crater highlighting the facial features seen within the dome section of the formation (note the linear features observed within the crater section have been removed in my drawing).
Focusing in on the dome section of the Dome/Crater, notice the overall head-shape of the formation. The head has puckered lips and a small nose with extended nose bridge that follows the curvature of the skull. The facial features include an almond-shaped eye decorated with small dots and a crescent-shaped eyebrow. The nose bridge extends across the skull into an ear ornament with a small "foot" sign and a set of leaf-like ornaments that are etched across the cheek in low relief.
This Romanesque nose design finds an analogue in many representations of head glyphs found within the Maya lexicon.
The depiction of portraits with extended nose bridges are commonly seen in portraits of Lord Pacal and in Maya glyphs representing God C.
In the illustration on the left of the analytical drawing above, notice the extended nose bridge in this Maya personification of the Yi glyph as compared to the similar nose feature seen on the domes Profiled Head.
The dotted and crescent-shaped eyebrow feature also finds its origins in Mesoamerican iconography as displayed in this representation of the Maya glyph T-1005 - illustrated on the right.
You must admit, the common iconography is well beyond chance.

Here is a Mayan shell pendant of a supernatural deity - identified as God-A Prime - smashing his head against a ballcourt ball with a woven knot glyph - which is a symbol of royalty. Note: when balls are depicted in Maya artworks many have either graphic glyphs or heads placed in the center.
Notice the almond-shaped eye, the dotted brow, opened jaw, lips and upward curling tongue - kissing the rim.
