Depiction
One stone censer stand portrays one of the Palenque kings named K'uk' B'alam, as the subject can be identified by a quetzal (k'uk') headdress and jaguar (bahlam) ears.[2] Following a suggestion by David Stuart, Simon Martin[3] notes that, in view of the object's role in ancestor veneration, it probably represents the dynasty founder.
