Title
Lintel 17 from Yaxchilan
Description
The sumptuously dressed kneeling woman pulling the rope through her tongue is Lady Balam-Ix, another of Bird Jaguar's wives. Opposite her sits Bird Jaguar, adorned with ornbate earplugs, nosepiece, bar pectoral, jade cylinder cuffs and a shield tied to his back. The fact that he is wearing a skull and skeletal serpent headdress suggests that he too is about to let blood by piercing his penis with the perforator he holds in front of him.
