Summary

[edit]
Description

In 1987 a buried room and a demolished structure were found inside the northeast corner of the final version of Structure 26. Excavators were so surprised to find an unexpected room with elaborate sculptures buried inside, that the building was named “Hijole” as an exclamation of surprise. Copan, Honduras

Believed to have once adorned an earlier version of one of the facades of Temple 22, the water bird is awarded the prize for the highest quality in relief sculpture found in Copán. Carved out of one rock, it is an extraordinary example of the nearly full-round quality of the façade sculpture at the height of Waxaklajun Ubah K’awiil, the 13th ruler of Copán. The chest and belly of the bird take the form of a grotesque head that frequently occurs in Maya art and is sometimes referred to as a “personification head.”
