This fine late work shows Itzamnaaj Bahlam IV inside a palace or pavilion (note the tied curtains above his head) and seated on a throne that bears his (reversed) name. He is receiving a group of three prisoners from one of his provincial lieutenants, Aj Chak Maax ('He of the Great/Red Monkey'), who made the captures in 783. It comes from an unidentified site dubbed Laxtunich.
