The sculpture depicts a sacred blood-letting sacrifice which took place on 26 October or 28 October 709. King “Shield Jaguar” is shown holding a torch, while Queen “Lady Xoc” pulls a thorn-lined rope through her tongue. It dates from around 725. British Museum [1590×2048]

Considering the size of the thorns Lady Xoc might not have enjoyed it.
