"La Pasadita was a subordinate center to Yaxchilan. The lintel was commissioned by Tilom (Tiloom), a noble who ruled in La Pasadita c. 759-771, and was created during the reign of the Yaxchilan king Yaxun B'alam IV (Bird Jaguar IV). Shown are the king and Tilom with a prisoner. An inscription provides the date of the event, 10 June 759."
