Miguel Angel Asturias' tomb, a Mayan Stela

**Miguel Angel Asturias** (1899-1974) was a Guatemalan novelist, poet, and journalist. The book that is sometimes described as his masterpiece, Hombres de maíz (Men of Maize), is a defense of Mayan culture and customs. Asturias combined his extensive knowledge of Mayan beliefs with his political convictions, channeling them into a life of commitment and solidarity. His work is often identified with the social and moral aspirations of the Guatemalan people. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Litterature in 1967. His tomb is located in the Père Lachaise Cemetery, in Paris, France. It's a reproduction by sculptor Joan W. Patten (who's signature can be seen on the back) of Stela 14 of the **Seibal Archeological Site**, in Guatemala. It's a stela dated about AD 870, depicting a mayan ruler. Photogrammetry, about 280 pictures used. Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
