Yaxchilan lintel 25

Lintel 25: Carved limestone lintel, showing Lady K'ab'al Xook on the bottom right of the panel. Lady Xook is in the hallucinatory stage of the bloodletting ritual. She conjures before her a vision of a Teotihuacan serpent. Structure 23 has particular significance since this was the first building to be constructed after a gap of 150 years in the dynastic history of Yaxchilan. It seems that the series of lintels was intended to convey a special message of the re-foundation of the site. Shield Jaguar's building programme throughout the city may have been an attempt to reinforce his lineage and his right to rulership.Lintel 25. One of a series of three panels from Structure 23 at Yaxchilan originally set above the central doorway.
