Lintel 25 of Yaxchilan Structure 23, showing accession rituals of the ruler Shield Jaguar ( Itzamnaaj B'alam II ), from the ancient Mayan city of Yaxchilan, Chiapas, Mexico. This lintel depicts the blood sacrifice by his wife Lady Xoc (K'ab'al Xook) who has conjured up a double-headed serpent representing the ancestral patron of the dynasty. In its jaws is a warrior masked as the storm god Tlaloc.
