Context (Analysis)
On his visit, on 15th July 2016, Dr Christian Prager from the Univeritat Bonn explained this section of the stela. See description field for this information. He also noted that not all monumnets of this nature have personal names, as detailed in the description. The stelae at Quirigua, and some in other select areas, are exceptions to this.

This section of cast comes from, what Maudslay titled, Stela D east side (see Bib).
