DescriptionA painting of a central calligraphic mark in the shape of a black circular against a cherry-red background. Above the central black circular shape, in the upper-left corner, is a black shape resembling a handmade axe (in Spanish, "hacha"). In the bottom-right corner is an unidentified, black graphic in the form of a stylized monogram. Profiles emerge from the calligraphic circle, resembling the faces of Maya kings depicted in Mesoamerican art.
