An offering scene set before an eagle distinguishes this print from others of Maya subjects. Its title names a figure as the god of Mayab, the Maya name for the Yucatan region, and gives "Kabul" or "Tzab" as alternate labels. The caption card is unverified and the date is only estimated to fall in the 1930s, so the source of the scene is unclear. Printmakers of that era often drew on Maya carvings and codices, and the hand coloring on this single print adds a painted, decorative quality worth noticing.
