zoomorph

The longest zoomorph on the plateau is the 617-foot Nazca serpent.

Zoomorph P is accompanied by an altar depicting an unidentified deity leaping from a split in the earth.

The design of this zoomorph is incredibly intricate and the whole monument is covered with skilfully executed sculpture.

Zoomorph O is a crocodile-mountain hybrid monster, dedicated in 790 by king "Sky Xul".

There remains a stone at Quiriguá, now identified as Zoomorph G, which seems to have served as his funeral marker.

Many of the Postclassic fragments were from a tripod pitcher with zoomorph supports that archaeologists were largely able to reconstruct.

A hieroglyphic text on the zoomorph describes the founding of Quiriguá under the supervision of the king of Copán.

Zoomorph P (which explorer Maudslay nicknamed The Great Turtle) was dedicated in 795 by "Sky Xul" and is a masterpiece of Mesoamerican art.
