This is another monument on a busy avenue in Merida. A fierce-looking Mayan man is depicted standing at the ready with a spear. He wields the most effective weapons of his time for defending himself and his family who (wife and mancub) are also depicted as part of the statue. A Spanish Conquistador's helmet lies on the ground next to them, perhaps a material prise for another day of fending off evil and danger.
