In Mayan culture, wars of power among city-states resulted in the capture of rulers, nobles and their families who, during the course of events, could be ritually sacrificed by the victor. This relief was probably commissioned by the victorious ruler of Dos Pilas, presenting one of his captured nobles in a submissive position. The fragment shows a captive kneeling and with his hands tied in front. He wears a loincloth and a rolled cloth headdress, with his hair tied up and knotted with a string. The texts mention the name of his captor, called "Guardian/ Captor of Aj Bolon Ti" (Lord of Fire), as well as a personal epithet of the captive, who is called "Guardian/ Captor of Yax Tok Bahlam".
