La función ritual de los incensarios compuestos del Grupo de las Cruces de Palenque

Researchers propose that the compound incense burners from Palenque's Grupo de las Cruces functioned as symbolic representations of the ceiba cosmological tree, serving as axes for communication with deities and ancestors during rituals. This interpretation expands our understanding of their role in religious ceremonies, suggesting a deeper spiritual significance beyond their functional use. The study combines archaeological analysis with symbolic interpretation to challenge conventional views on these artifacts.
