This is the entire paragraph but it follows a description of the pyramidal temple:
Otro elemento decorativo del edificio, **empotrado en la huella de la escalinata superior,** es una calavera de roca basáltica que probablemente representa a una divinidad que, a partir de los glifos, algunos estudiosos designaron como Señora Escudo Cráneo.

Por cierto, Ah Cul Patah (la Señora Escudo Cráneo) es una figura principal en los frescos de Bonampak, lo digo por si quisieras consultar ilustraciones. (Buscaré algunas, mientras tanto, saludos).

Comment: "Thanks, MargaEsther...as always a very helpful reference (indeed, the text was referring to this depiction of Señora Escudo Cráneo). I couldn't think of tread -- only riser -- so this really helped. Thanks again, and thanks to bariloche who was just a couple of minutes behind you with the same answer... "

Sorry, I realized later that it should be "tread" instead of "print", because it is part of the staircase.
