Description

The nude captives arrive at a ceremonial precinct, identified by the large truncated pyramid with a structure at the summit. Some of the prisoners are being carried in litters by their comrades. In the upper right, a nude prisoner with his hands tied behind his back, is being sacrificed by having his throat cut.
