| The tablero and the fragmented second story talud are carved with reliefs of warriors. There are elite figures that wear a trapeze-and-ray headdress and carry a strap bag. The iconography identifies them as warriors with militaristic emblems derived from Teotihuacan that are also found on public monuments in the Maya region. | ||
