This is an original 1923 halftone print of a Mayan monument. The sides of the monument are covered in some of the most detailed glyphs that have ever been discovered. The front and back of the monument depict human figures in ornate ceremonial headdress. Not including the portion fixed into the earth, the statue stands 24 feet tall.
