Tikal GCA - Temple II - Temple of the Mask 08

            Stitched Temple II (also known as the Temple of the Mask) in was built around AD 700 and stands 38 metres high. Like other major temples at Tikal, the summit shrine had three consecutive chambers with the doorways spanned by wooden lintels, only the middle of which was carved. The temple was dedicated to the wife of Jasaw Chan K'awil, although no tomb was found. The queen's portrait was carved into the lintel spanning the doorway of the summit shrine. One of the beams from this lintel is now in the American Museum of Natural History in New York.
