Lady Kʼabʼal Xook[kʼaɓalʃoːk] or Lady Xoc (died 742), was a Maya Queen consort of Yaxchilan. She was the principal wife and aunt of King Itzamnaaj Bahlam III, who ruled the prominent kingdom of Yaxchilan from 681 to 742. She is believed by many to have been the sister of Lady Pacal. [citation needed]
Lady Xoc is best known for adorning Structure 23 in Yaxchilan with 3 lintels (Lintel 24, Lintel 25, and Lintel 26) that depict her performing rituals. Royal Maya women are often depicted via texts and iconography like lintels. However, other women of Maya culture are not depicted in this manner. Lady Xoc appears in the images performing ritual sacrifices, which women, unless they were royal, were not typically seen doing in ancient Maya art. Lady Xoc and her lintels have been of great value in reconstructing the historical role of royal women in Maya rituals and politics.[1]
