Description: The Red Queen is considered one of the most powerful women of her time (because of her closeness to witchcraft), as an example on the role played by women in the Mayan royalty. Her funerary enclosure, discovered in 1994 by archaeologist Arnoldo Gonzalez Cruz in the ruins of Palenque, unveiled a vault with two more companions -a woman and a- and thus showed the world the detail, respect and mysticism with which the Mayas gave the farewell of their leaders to the other world, better known as Xibalbá.
Notes: "The Museo del Templo Mayor se engalana en recibir los objetos que formaron parte del ajuar mortuorio de la señora Tz'ak-b'u Ajaw para que pueda ser visitado por nuestros visitantes"--Page [3].
