Ce cube en jade est superbement orné de quatre têtes de divinité, chacune sculptée sur une arête et symboliquement unies par l'ornement d'oreille quadrilobé représenté entre les visages et un bandeau cranté. Il est décoré d'un emblème quadrilobé ajouré au sommet, représentation du portail entre les royaumes terrestre et surnaturel. Les cubes pendentifs mayas sont des ornements aussi rares que prestigieux ; le grand souverain Pakal de Palenque fut enterré tenant dans une main un tel ornement en jade. Masterfully carved with a fierce deity head on each of the four corners, symbolically united by the shared quadrafoil ear ornament and the undulating headband. It is carved with a pierced quadrafoil emblem on the top, symbolic of the portal between the earthly and supernatural realms. Maya cube pendants are rare and prestigious ornaments ; the great ruler Pakal of Palenque was buried holding a jade cube pendant in one hand.
