Tikal Stela 26 - Two Hieroglyphs: Circa A.D. 550
(Hieroglyphic Panel Late Early Classic)

These two beautiful hieroglyphs are all that remain of the inscription of the right side of Stela 26.
The inscription on the left side is more nearly complete, and archaeologists believe that these
inscriptions traced the ancestry, and hence his right to the throne, of the ruler known as Jaguar Paw II.
