Aztec stone monument, as it was formerly displayed in the courtyard in the old Mexico City museum.

Scanned from an old stereoscope card, c. 1905-1910. No info on publisher, date, or any assertion of copyright. Only text is caption:

Sacrificial Stone in Court of the Museum, City of Mexico

I believe this is actually the monument commemorating the victories of Aztec Emperor Tizoc, dating from about the 1480s, and rediscovered in excavation work in Mexico City in 1791.
