DescriptionThe foreground of the image has a set of stairs ascending and, at the top on each side, a Mesoamerican style faces with turquois blue eyes look out. Four male figures are on a platform at the top of the stairs. The central standing figure wears a helmet, a sword at his waist, a large shield on his left arm, and is carrying a pole with a banner aloft unfurled behind his head. To his right and left are standing figures, both wearing helmets and tearing striped mantels. Two figures writing, the one on the left kneeling, the one on the right sitting back, flank the three central figures. Behind the group of figures a team of horses and a chariot can be seen.On View
