They are indeed repeated over several stuccoed scenes of cadaverous-looking bodies such as this one. Local INAH archaeologist Carlos Peraza informed us that these niches were, in fact, as the design might lead one to suspect, used for the placement of actual skulls. Cranial fragments found in the area have confirmed this theory.

This scene, like those on the east side, relates to the cult of death. Though difficult to make out in the photograph, the carving on the far left depicts a victor who carries human heads on his belt as war trophies. The intervening wall on the far left is the rubble fill of the ultimate pyramid construction, which simply encased this sub-structure, a common building practice among ancient Mayan architects.
