Description
Xcel is the Mayan godess of fertility and rain. In ancient times, every Mayan woman was expected, at least once in her lifetime, to make the journey to Cozumel from the mainland to make offerings to X'cel for her family's fertility and crop sustenance. Inhabited from 200AD to the Spanish conquest, San Gervasio was the sanctuary of the Goddess X'chel as well as an important commercial, political and cultural center. Engravings at the site relate to events all over the Mayan world.

There must be much activity in this area. I bet in this building! I find the postwork to be perfect in tone and application and it has a sense of being still on the edge of something great.

The sepia tone really suits this image.
