. Bulletin. Ethnology. Figure 65.—Faceted celts from Offering 1942-C. A reinspection of the Red on Coarse Brown ware vessel shown by Drucker (LV, fig. 41, a') enables us to add further details on the en- graved design shown at the right end of the figure. This consists of three incised "hearts" surrounding a solid red painted circle (fig. 66). In 1955 with the help of the Pemex bulldozer we were able to set Stela 3 upright and to bring to full view the sculptured surface which faced north. That portion of the sculptured designs which can be determined with accuracy are shown here in

That portion of the sculptured designs which can be determined with accuracy are shown here in figure 67. Sr. E. Contreras has allowed his artistic fancy full rein, and has produced (fig. 68) a version of the original appearance of the stela. It is scarcely necessary to warn the reader that this reconstruction must not be taken literally. The present appearance of Stela 3 is shown in plate 55. Drucker (LV, fig. 50) presents a drawing made from photographs of the stela made while it lay tipped on its face. This is now superseded by the present illustrations. We call attention specifically to the figures at the upper right (figs. Nos. 6 and 7 in LV, fig. 50) which represent a masked and. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Smithsonian Institution.
