Chichen Itza
A small square platform of four stairways with balustrades
which, according to Diego DeLanda, served to present dances and
other spectacles. In the Maya-Toltec style of relief carving,
eagles and jaguars are depicted in the act of devouring hearts,
probably alluding to military orders known by these names in post
classic Mesoamerica. In addition, there are personages in a semi
reclining position and the always present plumed serpents.
