ceremonial precinct

English to French Other Anthropology
Marking the southern end of La Venta's ceremonial precinct is an enormous pyramidal mound. Standing at the base is Stela 25/26, which depicts a bundled zoomorphic creature with foliage at the top that is thought to represent a "world tree" or axis mundi.
The northern end of Complex A is mainly an enclosed courtyard with a massive underground serpentine deposit, thought to represent the primordial waters of creation.
