Two anthropomorphic figures in Mesoamerican style, possibly deities or warriors, are presented in a ritual context. The figure on the left stands on a stepped pyramid from which blood emanates, while the one on the right, richly adorned, holds a shield and a weapon. The scene evokes pre-Hispanic ceremonial and warlike practices.
