| Room 1 features the introductory notation ("initial series") for a Maya text, indicating this room's likely primacy in the reading order. Above the text, lords in white mantels - some of whom are explicitly titled "ahaw," or lord - approach a royal family assembled on a large throne, including a small child who is held up to the lords by a servant. | ||
