This monument contains two divided scenes that portray the meeting of men from different towns or groups and a ritual involving burning copal incense in braziers, which marked the beginning of discussions between visitors or merchants. The text mentions the participants and names the priest Bolon K’awiil as a resident of El Caracol and “he who tells or counts something”.
