Por cierto, Ah Cul Patah (la Señora Escudo Cráneo) es una figura principal en los frescos de Bonampak, lo digo por si quisieras consultar ilustraciones. (Buscaré algunas, mientras tanto, saludos). |

| Grading comment Thanks, MargaEsther...as always a very helpful reference (indeed, the text was referring to this depiction of Señora Escudo Cráneo). I couldn't think of tread -- only riser -- so this really helped. Thanks again, and thanks to bariloche who was just a couple of minutes behind you with the same answer...

Sorry, I realized later that it should be "tread" instead of "print", because it is part of the staircase.
