The Ballcourt
at Yaxuná,
here seen restored in 1998, was ritually terminated by the hands of Chichén Itzá forces in the 10th Century C.E. Swinging our view to the right we can see a truncated sculpture that was unearthed from a sweat bath now completely submerged beneath an undocumented platform structure in the middle of the plaza leading to the North Acropolis.
