Description
This lintel together with other two coming from Yaxchilan Structure, record Lord Bird Jaguar's enactment of a ritual. This lintel repeats the vision stage of the bloodletting shown on another of the three lintels. The serpent coils up through a headed blood scroll and from its mouth emerges the ancestor whom the lady has contacted in the rite.
