The great smoke monument with dead head
and at a cost is in the H.S.Het. Mus. is a
wonderful piece of stone carving.
The "Obelisco de la ribera sur del
Pue Palapopan" y Vera Cruz again show
Egyptian carving.
The Aztecs were acquainted with the
dog or the Coyote or wolf as there are figures
of them in the collection.
Or often the god carvings show open
hands just as one sees this in Buddhiste
gods. This must have a connection with the
lasts.
The great Calendar stone is a wonderful
carving at a great size. It is at least 3' thick
and about 18' in diameter. Originally the outer
surface was still large.
The Archaeological Collections are grand
but poorly shown. This is not or true of the large
stones and monuments but even a better installation
is possible. The smaller things are shown
in deep cases without any regular order
and the plans constantly interfere.
