An assembled carving made up of eight fragments which had been thrown apart at the time of 

 the great crash centuries ago 



The temple gains its name from a remarkable frieze of well-carved jaguars alternating with 

 shields. This cut shows one shield and a portion of a second, and three jaguars [Compare with cuts 

 pages 266 and 272]. Study of this facade still in place and computation of the dimensions of the 

 fallen facade gave the conclusion that the frieze of the latter must have held three shields and eight 

 jaguars. Exactly this number was found during the excavation
