This statue is a replica of a stone monument in Copan Plaza, Honduras. The image of the statue is Vasacarahorn Ubaa Cavell. The statue is now housed in the British Museum in London. The original stone tablet was made in 730 AD. Archaeological investigations have shown that wooden pillars and stone tablets may have been used to measure time and perform related rituals in the north of the main square of Copan Archaeological Park. The shadow of this stone tablet can be used as a marker for different dates of the year, such as to, to, and from the point of direct sunlight, as well as for the size and direction of its projection at different times of the day. The residents of Copan use it to accurately track tropical years.
