The pair of Maya name glyphs carved on the right side of this portrait suggests that it was repurposed by a Maya lord as an heirloom. Typically, these glyphs are inscribed facing forward, but in this case, they're drawn in reverse to face the Olmec portrait, implying a deep respect for its authority as a symbol of dynastic power. The eyes and nose were likely adorned with intricate shell work and ornaments.
