Abstract:
Pre-Hispanic Maya architecture had different features that highlighted its visual impact. Among them were the battlements, like those registered in the Puuc region, but also present at the Chenes area, Edzna, or Chichen Itza. Another relevant top ending was the roofcomb, whose origins belong to the first centuries of our era and are associated with the Peten architecture. These elements were decorated with stucco images and evolved for many centuries through the Postclassic period. Considering their composition, they can be classified in four different formats, whose iconography included rulers, deities and symbolic motives.
