ancient city OF Qurigua. Among the mos.
striking objects from this place are two obe-
lisks or stee, which are eaborately carved On
the front Of each is a curious network of de-
signs in which human faces, serpents and other
animal forms can be detected. Usually one face Is
much larger than are the others, as If it were
portrait. But this is often covered with mask

tematically arranged gIyphics-inscrptons

which rose 10 an elevation II fully twenty-five
feet. could not be accommodated in the hall and
has been placed temporarily in another room,
which is provided with a gallery. In view Of the
fact that these monuments were evidently
erected to perpetuate the memory Of some
famous man II seems a fair inference that 'ha
masks were marks of honor, like epaules on
modern warrior or the emblem Of a high priest i
is a suggestive fact that among the North Pac!ht
Coast Indians a mask is often worn during cr

the mask and the human face which II is usei
to cover.

block. which has been called an altar But the
heroglyphs on its upper surface, to say nothing
of the carved figures around the sides, suggest
other possibilities. Dr. Hamy is inclined to be-
lieve that the monument marks a treaty of
peace between two warning tribes. The text of
the agreement, according to that theory is on
top Of the stone. and the figures on the sides
are those of the participants in the negotiations
