Detail of the western side of Structure 5D-43. Its non-Maya architectural style, which combines a talud, a tablero and an inverted talud is strongly reminiscent of Teotihuacan buildings. Reinforcing this association is the imagery, which consists of stone circles on the inset tableros reminiscent of the so-called goggles of the Central Mexican deity Tlaloc, as well as star markings, which bring to mind similar markings to be found in murals at both Teotihuacan and the highland city of Cacaxtla. |
