This painted image on leather is of the Carved lid of the Mayan tomb of K'inich Janaab Pakal I in the Temple of the Inscriptions. By far the most interesting gift I have received in my life. Given to me by my Dad from his trip to Mexico long ago. The king is depicted either at the moment of his resurrection from the underworld, climbing up the World Tree toward paradise. The adornments along the edges represent the sky and other glyphs the sun and moon and, still others, past rulers of Palenque and Pacal's place among them. The bird at the top of the tree is the Bird of Heaven (also known as The Celestial Bird or Principal Bird Deity) who represents the realm of the gods in this piece, and the `urn' beneath Pacal is the entrance to Xibalba. #Mayan #sunshield #Pakal
