COPAN MAYAN HOWLER MONKEY GOD at the top of the COPAN REVIEWING STAND OF THE WEST COURT on the south side of COPAN TEMPLE 11 at the Copán Mayan Ruins in northern Honduras.

Crouched at the top of the west and east ends of the Reviewing Stand Stairway (which bears Mayan glyphs) are two Mayan Howler Monkey Gods carved in stone. The east (right end of the Reviewing Stand) Howler Monkey God is shown in this 1984 frontal view photo .

An amazing reptilian is seen extending to the right from the waist of this Howler Monkey God. This Mayan reptile bears huge fangs and a very long tongue.

On the top two steps of the Reviewing Stand Stairway is a group of well-defined Mayan hieroglyphs.
