Cimeter III

Nephi writes

"...and as I came near unto the house of Laban I beheld a man, and he had fallen to the earth before me, for he was drunken with wine...

And it came to pass that I was constrained by the Spirit that I should kill Laban..." -- 1 Nephi 4

Oddly, the Mimbres left us THREE examples of this story

Look closely... in all THREE examples, a CURVED blade (Cimeter) is used

The "great horned serpents" at the entrance to the Temple of the Warriors, Chichen Itza, Mexico

These Mimbres examples have been well documented by both Stephen H. Lekson & James R. Cunkle
