[Aztlan] riutal enucleation

[Karen Bassie]

Karl Taube and Marc Zender (American Gladiators: Ritual Boxing in 2009 
Blood and Beauty: Organized Violence in the Art and Archaeology of 
Mesoamerica and Central America edited by Heather Orr and Rex Koontz) 
discuss a scene where two combatants are armed with bone daggers. The 
dominant figure is in the process of goring his opponent in the eye. 
Marc also discussed this scene in 2001 
(http://www.mayavase.com/com7749.html). Most of scenes that they discuss 
refer to scenes of combatants smacking each other with stones. Hardly 
floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee.
