Structure 22






Stela 1 was erected by Bird Jaguar IV








The picture above is of Stele 27. The person is Knot-eye Jaguar I, and it is believed to represent an event in 514 A.D. Many believe this is the oldest stela at Yaxchilan.




According to an online article: "Structure 6 is near the Main Plaza in the Central Acropolis. It is in a good state of preservation and has six doorways, three facing the plaza and three facing the river. The doorways that open onto the plaza were blocked up in antiquity and new doorways were cut into the sides of the structure. The facade of the building facing the plaza has a surviving frieze with a sculpture of a head. The structure has a surviving perforated roof comb and is believed to date to the Early Classic."


Stela 5. Per Wikipedia: "Stela 5 is in front of the terrace holding Structure 20. The upper part of this monument depicts king Itzamnaaj B'alam II."


Stela 7, temple side. Per Wikipedia: "Stela 7 was badly damaged, being broken into fragments. The monument has now been reassembled and the surviving sculpture is of excellent quality. The stela stands in front of a terrace below Structure 20. It depicts a kneeling figure."






Stela 6, temple side. Per Wikipedia: "Stela 6 stands in front of the terrace supporting Structure 20. It is largely intact and depicts the 7th century ruler Bird Jaguar III."




Stela 3 stands on a platform in the middle of a plaza by Structure 20.
