A toothy Mayan skull, made of limestone and in the shape of a monkey head, is on display at a Maya exhibition at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto Canada. Researchers believe the skull may have been a symbolic representation of a piece of clothing worn while playing a ball game popular among the Maya.
