Original Commentary

Sarcophagus Lid of Kʼinich Janaabʼ Pakal

"Sarcophagus cover inside the temple of the inscriptions. shown is the double-headed serpent that undulates through the branches of the tree, with enlargements of the k'awiil ("god k") and jester god figures who emerge from the open jaws of the serpent. below is the image of k'inich janaab pakal and the quadripartite monster" (Linda Schele Drawings Collection, Famsi). K'inich Janaab Pakal is enveloped by the maw of the underworld or maw of Xibalba, above him rises the world tree which upholds the sky, a skyband envelops the sides of the lid.
