Image description

Identified over the years as various different animals, the carving is now understood by scholars to represent a 'Waterlily Jaguar', with human figures emerging from both ends. The monument was created during the first year of the reign of Sky Xul and records details of the funeral ceremony of his predecessor K'ak' Tiliw Chan Yopaat. Photographed in March-May 1883 by Alfred Percival Maudslay (1850-1931).
