Impressive Maya panel made from limestone with painted stucco, of 2 figures seated on a throne in conversation. Its style, technique and colors suggest it likely formed part of a single narrative sequence by the same workshop. 600–909 CE, El Chicozapote, Usumacinta basin close to Yaxchilán, Chiapas.

A wife bids farewell to her husband, the kuhul ajaw of Pa’ Chan, on his way to war. It is lintel 26 of Yaxchilán, Chiapas, crafted in 724 AD. The protagonists are Lord Shield Jaguar II and his wife Lady Xoc, who hands him his flexible shield and a helmet or headdress in the shape of a jaguar head.

Lady K’ab’al Xook in a ritual self-sacrifice: she passes a rope laden with thorns over her tongue, allowing her blood to fall onto a ritual paper. The blood will later be burned as an offering. Husband, ruler Itzamnaaj B’alam, illuminates the act with a torch. Lintel 24 Yaxchilan, Chiapas, 709 CE.

King Itzamnaaj Bahlam III (also known as Shield Jaguar II) holds a burning torch, while his primary wife, Queen Lady K’ab’al Xook, kneels before him. Maya Huipil, a traditional hand-woven tunic from the Tzeltal Maya community of Tenejapa, Chiapas, Mexico. The top portion of the garment is heavily adorned with intricate, geometric brocade weaving. It features rows of black diamond shapes enclosing vibrant red fills. Tiny accents of bright yellow, neon blue, and pink are meticulously stitched inside and around the diamonds.

Sheer beauty 🤩 stone lintels from Yaxchilan, Maya culture, 450-550 (with pictograms, that list rulers) and c.725 CE (large scenes, that show them performing rituals). Now in British Museum, London, gallery 27 🏛 Yaxchilan, on border between Mexico and Guatemala, was an extraordinary place to visit 🦋

Lords from the cities of Yaxchilán, Bonampak and Lacanhá appear before the ruler of Piedras Negras, Petén, Guatemala. He wears the ko’haw, the “Teotihuacan War Helmet,” associated with military power and dynastic authority. This scene represents political subordination, Usumacinta region, 600CE.

Another is the penis and testicle glyph which may be a logogram prefix. Penis glyphs can be seen incorporated into king’s names as one in Yaxchilan or used as a sky-penis title. Its relation to royalty is no surprise given that Maya royals practiced penis bloodletting rituals.
Yaxchilan king with a penis glyph in his name. Sky-penis title.

🚨C’est extraordinaire, l’Autriche 🇦🇹 vient de restituer au Mexique 🇲🇽 un linteau du célèbre site maya de Yaxchilán, qui avait été extrait illégalement il y a des décennies de celà⌛.
Ce type de restitution reste encore rare, mais il montre que les lignes bougent lentement, mais sûrement.

Yaxchilán (maya clásico tardío) fue devorado por la selva Lacandona, mucha selva, y el río Usumacinta, mucho río. Tras el colapso maya, la naturaleza se apoderó del lugar. El Imperio británico también hizo lo suyo: buena parte de los restos están en el British Museum.
