This is a monument of limestone that covered the throne of masonry, that showed a short registration glyphic.
The monument measures approximately 2.20 m long and 70 cm wide, and displays to five characters, identified by texts glyphic. In the right-hand side is a zoomorphic wearing a large headdress and a skin of a jaguar. It is addressed to an officer identified as Ahkal Mo’ Nahb’ (III), “Sacred Lord of Palenque”, who commanded him to hew to the board and to build the Temple XXI, towards 736 d.C. The text indicates the name child of Ahkal III: Okib’.

At the center, sitting on a throne and presiding over the scene, is K’inich Janahb’ Pakal (Pakal II, or the Great), ruler who died half a century before that dress this board. It is represented as a companion of Ahkal Mo’ Nahb’, as if it were alive, because it was a historical figure of great prestige. The text associated to Pakal points out that he was the incarnation or “image” of a ruler legendary of Palenque, which was called the Ch-away Chaak Or Kix Kan. To our surprise, the main text refers to the Chaak was ajaw of Palenque in 252 to.C.!

On the right side of the scene sees another dignitary identified as the Chaak Pakal K’inich, of whom he says was “the heir to main to be ajaw of Palenque (b’a ch’ok K uhul B aak Ajaw). It seems to be the son and successor Ahkal Mo’ Nahb’, which in other inscriptions it is called U Pakal K’inich and is mentioned in the text glífico of the slab that covered the throne of the Temple XXI. Next to this character is another representation of the same being zoomorphic that accompanies Ahkal III.
