At least two sets of stelae at Seibal, Peten, Guatemala are 'look-alikes,' and this resemblance may be empirically demonstrated by a series of measurements. The scant variation encountered between measurements of some of the features of the figures on the stelae suggest the use of templates or patterns as a traditional technique among Mayan sculptors during the Classic period
