坎昆面板1

Panel carved in limestone with a hieroglyphic text of 160 glyphs. Originally part of a wall, it was carved by the same sculptor who made the Panel 3 of Cancuén. The inscription recounts a dynastic tale spanning from the year 652 to 799 AD, when the panel was commissioned by the ruler Taj Chan Ahk, “Torch-Sky-Turtle”. The text describes a ruler's accession to the throne and his pilgrimage to the sea, 在其他仪式中.

This panel thus provides tantalizing clues that 玛雅 kings visited the sea and that such pilgrimages strengthened what might have been weak or questionable claims to royal thrones. The final passages on the panel record another accession at Cancuén under the patronage of Yuknoom Ch'e'n and culminate in the commissioning of the panel itself, in 799, to mark the tomb of the second lord to accede at Cancuén under the influential lord of Calakmul.

This is one of the longest hieroglyphic inscriptions known from the 玛雅 lowlands, and will be included in the exhibition together with a full translation. Cancuen、危地马拉. 晚期经典(ca). A.D. 799)

秘鲁的小雕像

In 2006, archaeologists discovered the burial place of a previously unknown ruler, accompanied by 23 clay figurines and other objects intended to accompany the king on his journey to the underworld. The figurines were characters in a ceremony to resurrect the deceased king. The figurines lack detailed eyes, possibly to indicate a trance-like state. The group of figurines is unique in 玛雅 art.
