Some buildings that were built in the Classic Era in the central region
have sloped facades above the middle mold level. The upper part of the façade, later, is
between the middle and the upper molds, and decorations were placed on them with stucco,
or, a type of shapeable plaster. This decoration idea on the facade reached its most
notable point during the Classic Era. This decoration era occurred around 340 AD. The
buildings were beautifully decorated with complicated drawings in stucco that were held by
ordinary stone that popped out of the facade.
Like the Chinese, the Mayas occasionally decorated their buildings with carvings made out
of stone. Used in the exterior of the building, they were placed on broad murals, ramps
along the stairs, and/or in the front of the grades. These sculptures are engraved
sometimes with hieroglyphic inscriptions. An example of sculptures on a broad mural
includes Piedra Negras. For sculptures along the stairs, they can be found on Palenque,
Copan, and Quirigua. Hieroglyphic inscriptions can be found in Copan, Quirigua, Palenque,
Yaxchilan, Naranjo, Seibal, Etzan, and La Amelia. Drawings include an occasional, human,
animal, bird, or serpent on the upper half of the facades.
