Overview

Excerpt from Art and Archaeology, Vol. 1: An Illustrated Magazine; July, 1914 June, 1915 The western face of the pyramid has been partially freed of debris, thus ex posing the massive hewn stone walls, part of a stairway, and a very interest ing example of stucco design - a colossal human figure in strong relief, possibly a. Companion piece to that spoken of by Charnay as a crouching tiger. The prostrate figure occupies a panel about four feet high and eight feet long, and faces the south. It rests apparently on knees and elbows, and is surrounded by ornamental plumes and symbolic de vices. Later photographs of these figures show merely battered traces of what, in the palmy days of the Maya city, must have been imposing and attractive works.
