EDITORS COMMENTS
Lintel 15 from Yaxchilan: A Window into the Late Classic Maya World Lintel 15, a remarkable piece of Pre-Columbian art from the Late Classic Maya period, dates back to the 8th century and is currently housed at the British Museum in London. This intricately carved stone slab, measuring approximately 1.8 meters long and 0.4 meters high, offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life, religion, and fashion of the ancient Maya civilization in Central America. The central image of Lintel 15 depicts a lord and his spouse, both dressed in elaborate clothing, engaging in a ritualistic scene. The lord, identified by his distinctive headdress, is shown in the act of sacrificing a captive, represented by a kneeling figure with bound hands. The captive, who wears a bird headdress, appears to be offering his head to the lord, symbolizing the offering of his life force. Surrounding this central scene are numerous hieroglyphs and figures, which express the Maya's complex writing system and mythology. The upper portion of the lintel is adorned with a serpent or jaguar, likely representing a deity, while the lower portion features a procession of figures, including a god holding a gourd and a figure wearing a tuun (a type of Maya headdress). The intricate detail and skillful execution of Lintel 15 provide a unique window into the rich cultural heritage of the ancient Maya civilization. The artistry and symbolism of this piece continue to captivate scholars and visitors alike, offering insights into the complexities of Maya society and the role of ritual and sacrifice in their daily lives.
