TEMPLE OF THE IX-KALOOMTÉ (E-419)

This building is at the east side of the Little Acropolis, a
privileged direction, because it is the sector of the daily
re-birth of the sun. Its origin dates back to the
beginnings of our times and therefore its architecture is
Peten style, the first one to be developed in the Maya
world.

In later times they added the staircase with relieves and
the memory of the fourth ruler of the city. She was
honored by depositing a small circular altar at the south
of the staircase with the image of Lady Bahh Pahk, the
only Ix-Kaloomté of Edzná. She ruled between years 649
and 672 of our times.

The altar was a
personal use portable
object. There we can
see the queen in the
company of a lady
dwarf, her assistant.
