Lady K'atun Ajaw of Namaan
Lady K'atun Ajaw of Namaan (born July 5, 674 CE, 5 Kib 14 Yaxk’in in the Maya calendar), was the queen and consort of K'inich Yo'nal Ahk II, the ajaw (or king) of Piedras Negras, Maya city in Guatemala. Her image appears on stelae 1 and 3 of Piedras Negras. She is also referenced on a set of three conch shells from a royal burial at Piedras Negras, leading some to believe the burial contained her body.
