Izapa Ballgame and Sedan Chair
Izapa high stakes ball court game observed by a ruler in a sedan chair.
Not a Mayan face, from the Yucatan.
Chichen-Itza in the Yucatan - Mayan costumes but not the Mayan facial type. The Nephites settled the East Wilderness. Here we see the unfortunate loser of the ballgame.

Mayan ballplayer, note his one knee pad.
Heavily padded player setting up a shot.
The game is still played in modern times (without the sacrifice at the end).
