Notes or Gallery Text
Torso and glyph fragments were found at the north end of the Northwest Court of the Palace. Mayer (1995:28) reports that the panel is part of a private collection in Brussels; however, the torso and glyph fragment are listed in the Bodega of Palenque (1979:No. 81). See SD143 and 141 for fragment details.
