[Aztlan] Maya panel

[Elaine Schele]

Wow Karen, it does match exactly.  But I don't believe that there is
any evidence that the Tablet of the Sun was ever broken off at that
spot, so what John saw and drew must have been from a modern
reproduction or perhaps from an artifact that was broken off from a
ancient duplicate carving somewhere.  The duplicate idea is not such a
far-fetched idea, since these panels must have been famously admired
by many -- perhaps there was a demand in ancient times to reproduce
and sell them, just as is done today.

John - Did you take any measurements of the object?  Did the gentleman
who owned it tell you anything about it?
