The engraving, found in a private collection, is an illustration featured in Prof Cyrus Thomas' article titled "Notes on Certain Maya and Mexican manuscripts". It was originally published in J. W Powell's Third Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology to the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution in 1881-82.
