The tomb. The most important king in Ek' Balam's history is supposedly buried here. The jaguar mouth (Ek' Balam means black jaguar) door represents the entrance to the underworld. A lot of the images of people show club feet and other deformities. Because keeping the bloodline pure was so important, there was a lot of inbreeding and birth defects were held in high-esteem.
