| Title |
Panel with Royal Woman |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
In this panel, probably from a palace interior, the woman’s static posture contrasts with the liveliness of the creature she holds, a God-K sceptre of royalty with a serpent leg and a grotesque head with a smoking torch on its brow. (The same deity is shown in the nearby Eccentric Flint.) Her name or title: "Sahal K'utim" (also found on El Cayo Altar 4 of A731.) Other signs of high rank are her jade jewelry and woven huipil, its beauty suggesting that textiles and featherwork were great Maya arts, now lost to a tropical climate. The hieroglyphics refer to an undefined ritual that the woman completed in 795, and the continuation of a family name for Sahals – subjects of the larger site, Piedras Negras. |
