| In the Sarcophagus sculpture, Ahkal Mo' Nahb' can be identified visually by the macaw beak in his headdress. He is also named in a hieroglyphic caption, together with the "wavy-bone" variant of the Palenque emblem glyph. (See drawing.) The reader may consider to what extent this is likely to be a realistic depiction of Ahkal Mo' Nahb' I, because he died in the year 524 and the Sarcophagus was not carved until sometime around Pakal's death in 683. |
