- There are two objects marked with this number. One is a small stone figure, about 9 1/2 inches tall. The other is large-- about 3 ft, 8 inches. The ledger book shows there should only be one object with this number. The catalog card lists the size as 3' 8", the larger one. So the smaller one might have a different original number?
- Petroglyph slab from a stone aligned plaza. The plazas were located at the center and outer limits of the villages. Slabs with petroglyphs depicted deities, clan ancestors, totemic animals and other subjects related with the Cacique's and elite that ruled over the Naborians or low ranking clans.
