DETAILS OF A RUINED EDIFICE. 339 



The engraving opposite represents the same build- 

 ing cleared from forest and restored, and, according 

 to our division, marked on the plan No. 1. In the 

 plate are given the ground-plan (beginning at the bot- 

 tom), the front elevation, a section showing the posi- 

 tion of tablets within, and the front elevation on a 

 smaller scale, with the pyramidal structure on which it 

 stands. 



The building is seventy- six feet in front and twenty- 

 five feet deep. It has five doors and six piers, all 

 standing. The whole front was richly ornamented in 

 stucco, and the corner piers are covered with hiero- 

 glyphics, each of which contains ninety-six squares.
