The Holmul Frieze (Building A, Group II)
sketchfab
A 26-foot-long frieze in the city-state of Holmul showcases a complex religious scene with an inscription that hints at close ties with the powerful Snake dynasty. The central figure is the Holmul king who died around 590 and was laid to rest in the tomb that this very frieze adorns. Carefully maneuvering through the tight confines of an excavated tunnel, scientists utilized a 3-D scanner to capture precise measurements and create this detailed digital replica.
