CONDITION Sculptured area sawn from body of the lintel. The surface is somewhat weathered. DIMENSIONS 0.74 m / 0.64 m / 0.60 m / 0.05 m (swan) / 1.0 cm DESCRIPTION This lintel depicts Bird Jaguar IV and Lady Mut Bahlam of Hiix Witz (El Pajaral, Guatemala), one of his wives or consorts. She draws blood from her tongue with a thorn-studded rope, as he incises his genitals with a sharpened bone. The text suggests a penitential rite in celebration of a birth, but the absence of a date and the eroded condition of the initial passages makes the reference vague at best.
