Included at no charge is your choice of wall hanger or display stand.

History: Yaxchilán is unique in its multitude of images of Maya royalty engaged in ceremonial rituals invoking their ancestors in the form of what is called the ?Vision Serpent?. This is an isolated Vision Serpent from the lintel dubbed ?The Vision Rite of Lady 6 Tun?. Many monuments at Yaxchilán depict kings and queens engaged in the ritual of bloodletting. If this was a city of seers, as many believe it was, then the bloodletting ceremony was undoubtedly the ritual magic used to start the seer on their journey.
