Description
Limestone panel commissioned by ruler Taj Chan Ahk “Torch-Sky-Turtle” in 799 AD. It has 160 hieroglyphic blocks sculpted in high relief, organized in eight double columns. It corresponds to the second part of an extensive text written on another panel, now missing. The first event mentioned in this monument took place in the year 652 “in the company of Yukno'om Che'en of Calakmul.” At that time Cancuén was already subordinate to Calakmul. The text also refers to the enthronement of the new ruler of Cancuén, K'ib Ahaw, in the year 656, explicitly mentioning that he received his royal insignia from the hand of Yukno'om Che'en himself. The final passages of the panel record another ascension at Cancuén under the auspices of Yuknoom Ch'e'n (that of Taj Chan Ahk).
