Lady Ik-Skull, who Schele and Freidel refer to as "Lady Eveningstar", wears the skeletal-serpent-and-monkey-skull headdress and holds a bloodletting bowl, from which visions appear to ascend. On the interior wall behind are the remains of a frieze portraying a serpent-monster and five cross-legged figures.
