At the Archaeological Park and Ruins of Quiriguá, located in the Department of Izabal, Guatemala, this incredible sandstone altar with ornate carvings was unearthed in 1934 along with another nearby monument called Zoomorph P. It is intricately carved and features rich iconography and text that relate to the themes of sacrifice, balance between the natural and supernatural worlds, and the portals that connect them. The piece was 3D laser scanned in 2019 by our USf CDHGI team during an extensive documentation survey at the site. We utilized structured light scanners at various resolutions on this monument. Altar O is significantly connected to Zoomorph O Prime, and it is positioned right in front of the northern end of the sculpture.
