This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1904 edition. Excerpt: ...crosier" (una tiradera de oro a manerade baculo), was of massive gold and its weight is given as 368 pesos de oro, the exact equivalent of which in our weights, I have not been able to determine. Let us cast a glance at the hitherto unrecognized representations of atlatl on the bas-reliefs of Chichen-Itza, Yucatan, and on the so-called Sacrificial Stone in the city of Mexico.

Senor Jesus Sanchez (Anales del Museo Nacional, tomo m, page 133) likewise describes the object held as "a certain kind of stone knife furnished with a guard." Reference to PI. i, fig. 66, will convince the reader that this weapon is an atlatl, the complement to the two spears held in the left hand. The same form of atlatl will also be recognized in fig. 6a below the shield held by the warrior, besides two spears and a banner = macpanitl. Stephens (Incidents of Travel in Yucatan, vol. ii, page 309) was the first to note the general resemblance between the sculptured figures on the "Sacrificial Stone" and on the walls of the chamber at Chichen-Itza.
