Unique piece, for having been worked in the form of a column carved in high relief. In the upper part are represented the "jaws of the sky" A character richly dressed as a jaguar, stands on top of a place name. In the left section, a very destroyed glyph seems to represent the jaws of an animal. The scrolls that appear on each of the sides of the frame of the inner part are characteristic of the Zapotec glyphic. This object is part of "Scan The World".
