Important stele
Rectangular in shape, the upper part of the stele features two confronting felines that serve as an openwork pediment.
They rest on a band engraved with geometric motifs. The two lateral edges are carved with superimposed trophy heads. The base ends with a wide band engraved with concentric lines.
Two similar stelae are preserved in the Museo Nacional de Costa Rica.
