Mayan Lintel 16

3D Model

Description from the British Museum: “Maya, about AD 755-70 Here the ruler, Bird Jaguar, stands over a captive noble who, judging by the beaded droplets on his nose and cheek, has already let blood. Eight days later when his heir, Shield Jaguar II, was born, Bird Jaguar and one of his other wives performed ritual bloodletting in celebration. Seventy-five days later, on 3 May AD 752, Bird Jaguar was officially installed as king, an event which took place only after the capture of noble prisoners and, in this casem the birth of a male heir.”
