Toniná, Chiapas
Clásico Tardío (600 - 900 D.C.)
Piedra arenizca
Testimony to the Victory
This monument tells of a fire ritual that was repeatedly held by Ruler 8 of Toniná at the grave of Ruler 1, who founded the local dynasty, at the Date 3 Manik 0 Muwaan, i.e. the 31st October, AD 799. The figure in the middle shows an aristocrat from Pomoy, Aj Chan Chih, who was captured by Ruler 8 on 2 MuLuk 12 Ch'e’en (13th July, 789). The captive is shown bound neck and arms and with his hands on the lips - a gesture which symbolizes fear.
