Description
Front view of replica of Stela 20 at Coba, Mexico. "This monument, known officially as Stela 20, is both the best preserved of the known stelae at Coba and perhaps even more importantly, carries a date of November 30, A.D. 80, which is the latest recorded date at Coba (Stuart, 1975). The stela depicts an elaborately costumed personage, probably a ruler, who holds a long ceremonial bar. He stands on the backs of two kneeling figures, with two larger kneeling figures (captives or slaves) at either side,"--Architecture at Cobá Quintana Roo, Mexico, by George F. Andrews, 1981, from University of Texas Libraries, Alexander Architectural Archive.
