Corbelled Arch at Las Monjas, Palenque
Horizontal courses of dressed stone narrow above a small doorway to create a tall pointed opening, partly blocked by rubble. Vegetation grows along the right side of the wall. The caption identifies the arch of Las Monjas at Palenque in Central America. The drawing makes the construction’s stepped masonry legible within the ruined fabric surrounding it.
