A modern plaster cast of the bottom section of the west side of Stela F. There are 18 glyphs in the section of cast. This begins with a distance number to denote the time frame. The glyphs then reference the beheading of the King of Copan by K’Ahk’Tiliw Chan Yopaat. Then follows a new time frame with the narrative moving back in time to a historic date. It refers to an event which is repeated but this is currently not well understood, it could refer to a mask or the redoing of activities from the date of creation. This is followed by a distance number, a half date.
