The famous laughing horned
owl is part of the ornamentation worn on the breast of
the personage portrayed on the stela.
Judging from the
bow-tie, this must be a very high class owl. Such an
exquisite sculptural detail demonstrates the
affection
and care with which the Maya portrayed the birds and
animals of their environment.
