GI-K'awiil (G1-K'awiil) was a Queen consort of Dos Pilas. She is also known as the Lady of Cancuén.[1]
Biography
She was born in Cancuén. She married Ucha'an K'in B'alam, king of Dos Pilas.[2] It is likely that they had no children, because the successor of her husband was not her son.[3]
Dos Pilas Panel 19 depicts Ucha'an K'in B'alam and GI-K'awiil presiding over a ritual featuring a young boy.
The Hieroglyphic Bench of GI-K'awiil labels her husband as "He of Five Captives".[4]
