Stela depicts Waxaklajuun Ub’aah K’awiil (was the 13th ajaw or ruler of the powerful Maya polity associated with the site of Copán in modern Honduras. He ruled from January 2, 695, to May 3, 738.) however there is no clear indication of what the event is that he is dressed for. The date on this stela is for early 732 AD.
