Notes or Gallery Text

Esta figura tiene la mano derecha extendida, palma arriba, por lo cual es muy probable que en la mano izquierda sostuvo una bolsa de incienso, ya que es típica este tipo de postura. En el centro del tocado hay un gran cabeza de jaguar.

Glyphic Inscription
En el pedestal de la pieza, enmarcado por el glifo cerro, está el glifo milpa.
