Well, these are the most spectacular statues I've seen. The sarcophagus of Pacal at Palenque is Twilight-Zone-ish, but these people with "wings" at Ek' Balam I think win the prize for strangest iconography of the Mayan world. They are called "angels" in all the guide books and pamphlets. Obviously, they cannot be angels. And the "wings" look more like feathers to me. But they are beautiful and striking.
