The Nunnery Annex-1

Chichén Itzá, Yucatan, Mexico

On the Puuc-style entrance to the Annex the jaws of a terrestrial monster are represented by a row of teeth above the doorway. Higher up is a seated monarch wearing an elaborate headress of feathers. The rest of the facade is covered in frontal masks of Chaac, the rain god and other symbolic carvings.
