 349), The relation of 

 these two structures ap- 

 pears very clearly in the 

 view of the temple court, 

 shown in the photograph 

 •on page 353. This struc- 

 ture B can hardly be 

 classified as a temple, but 

 more readily falls into 

 the dwelling or palace 

 type of Maya structures. 



It is built on the level 

 of the temple court and 

 -does not rise from a sub- 

 structure, like the other 

 buildings surrounding 

 this inclosure, which fact 

 somewhat detracts from 

 its dignity and impress- 

 iveness. Its ground plan 

 is irregular.

 open chambers rendered 

 further conspicuous by 

 unusual features of deco- 

 ration, as in Temple A. 

 Instead, the rooms are 

 small and dark, the en-

All of the doorways 

 are provided with pairs 

 of stone hooks for hang- 

 ing curtains. These are

Note the proportion of wall space to room space in this building. The walls, which are of 

 solid masonry, occupy nearly three times as much space as the rooms
