Overview
- The find, reported in a 2025 Latin American Antiquity study, was uncovered in 2023 at Group 6L13 and set into the floor of structure 6L-19 as a red-tesserae mosaic.
- Researchers estimate an original size of about 78 by 110 centimeters with 45 squares composed of roughly 478 tesserae.
- The construction method makes it the only known Maya patolli board executed as a floor mosaic rather than scratched or painted.
- No counters or bean-dice were recovered near the feature, leaving how it was played at the site unresolved.
- A thin wall later covered part of the surface, with authors tentatively suggesting short-term use during construction or a symbolic tie to ballcourt-like spaces.
