AR920768 
Lintel 24, one of three panels from structure 23 at Yaxchilan, Mexico. It represents a bloodletting ritual performed by the king of Yaxchilan, Shield Jaguar II, and his wife, Lady K'ab'al Xook. The Maya king holds a flaming torch over his wife, who is pulling a thorny rope through her tongue. The glyphs in the text at the top indicate the event and the date, 709 CE.
