"Cast of a relief sculpture from the Mayan ceremonial city of Yaxchilan (Mexico-Guatemala border)" Field Museum, Chicago, Illinois, USA
Lady Xoc pulls a thorn-laden rope through her tongue. The blood collected would then be burned and send as a sacrifice skyward in honor of the birth of her son.
Drawing of human blood was thought to nourish the Gods and necessary for maintaining contact with Gods and ancestors through self-sacrifice.
