Stuccoed Figure of Captive from Temple I

Arianna Campiani

The lower level of Temple I platform is decorated with a series of elegant stucco decorations. Although scant remains of decoration survived, it is possible to recognize a row of figures on the lower tier: a toad, three human figures seating on a band, and another, more complete figure, representing a captive held down by a standing figure, possibly his captor.
