Lady K'abel

Maya · mortal · classic · mortal

Kaloomte' is the highest Classic Maya title there is, above k'uhul ajaw, and a woman held it at Waka' while her husband did not. She was Calakmul's instrument in the west — the Snake kings placed her there and she governed for them — which makes her the third figure in this batch whose position only makes sense with Kaanul in the registry, and Kaanul was not in the registry. Her tomb is one of the few Maya royal burials whose occupant can be named from an object inside it.
