Roof comb

Roof comb (or roof-comb) is the structure that tops a pyramid in monumental Mesoamerican architecture. Examination of the dections and iconography of Maya civilization roof-combs indicates that each icon had specific sacred meanings.

Typically the roof combs crowned the summit of pyramids and other structures; and they consisted of two pierced framework walls which leaned on one another. This framework was covered by plaster decorated with artist depictions of gods and/or important rulers.
