In the foreground, the eastern side of Stela C, with Stela B in the background. Both monuments represent king Waxaklajuun Ub'aah K'awiil, although the occasions and times talked about on each are different. Stela C's date is 9.14.0.0.0, which marks the king's first k'atuun ending after his accession, while the date of Stela B is exactly one k'atuun (almost 20 years) later. Between the two stelae, in the distant background, Stela E can be discerned, standing in a stairway, under a tree. |
