Description Stela E monolith at Quirigua.

Photo taken by Alfred P. Maudslay in 1881, from his work Archaeology, vol II Biologia Centrali-Americana, vols 55-9 (London: R.H.Porter, 1889-1902).

Today the massive 30-35 foot high carved stela stands up-right at the Mayan Exhibition/Educational Centre at Quirigua, site of the ancient Mayan city in the Sierra de las Minas, Guatemala.
