玛雅文化艺术《亚斯奇兰门楣》浮雕

玛雅文化艺术《亚斯奇兰门楣》浮雕，约公元723年-726年，大英博物馆藏。

这个石灰石门楣被认为是玛雅艺术的杰作之一，是亚克斯奇兰 23 号结构的一系列三块面板之一，它位于左(东南)门口上方。 该场景描绘了亚克斯奇兰的统治者 Itzamnaaj Bahlam(或盾美洲虎，681-742)和他的妻子 Kabal Xook 女士进行的放血仪式。统治者将燃烧的火炬举到他的妻子身上，她正在用舌头拉一根可能镶有黑曜石刀片的绳子。她的嘴周围可以看到血卷。她的舌头流出的血落在地板上衬有树皮纸的碗上。 门楣顶部文字中的前两个字形表示该事件及其发生日期，公元 709 年 10 月 24 日(玛雅历中的 5 Eb，15 Mak)。最后一个字形代表亚克斯奇兰的徽章字形(即玛雅象形文字中的城市名称)。面板左侧的文本包含 K'abal Xook 女士的姓名和头衔。 门楣上有玛雅蓝、绿松石和红色颜料的痕迹。 24 号和 25 号门楣于 19 世纪末应莫兹利的要求被拆除，现永久陈列在大英博物馆的墨西哥画廊中。 Lintel 26 是该系列中的第三个，现藏于墨西哥城的国家人类学博物馆。

This limestone lintel, considered one of the masterpieces of Maya art, is one of a series of three panels from Structure 23 at Yaxchilán, where it was set above the left (south-east) doorway.

The scene represents a bloodletting ritual performed by the ruler of Yaxchilán, Itzamnaaj Bahlam (or Shield Jaguar, 681-742), and his wife, Lady K'abal Xook. The ruler holds a flaming torch over his wife, who is pulling a rope, probably studded with obsidian blades, through her tongue. Scrolls of blood can be seen around her mouth. Blood let from her tongue falls on the bark paper lined bowl on the floor.

The first two glyphs in the text at the top of the lintel indicate the event and the date on which it took place, 24 October, AD 709 (5 Eb, 15 Mak in the Maya calendar). The last glyph represents the Emblem Glyph (that is, the city name in Maya hierolglyphs) of Yaxchilán. The text on the left of the panel contains the name and titles of Lady K'abal Xook.

The lintel has traces of Maya blue, turquoise and red pigment.

Lintels 24 and 25, removed at Maudslay's request at the end of the nineteenth century, are on permanent display in the British Museum's Mexican Gallery. Lintel 26, the third in the series, is in the Museo Nacional de Antropología, in Mexico City.
