Copán Bench Panel
The Copán Bench Panel or ''Copan Bench Panel'' is the name of an important sculpted platform that was originally located in Temple 11 at the Mayan site of Copán in Honduras. Discovered by the English archaeologist Alfred Maudslay in the late nineteenth century, it now forms part of the British Museum's extensive collection of ancient artefacts from Central America.〔(British Museum Collection )〕 Dated to the late 8th Century AD, the panel is both a work of art and a significant historical record of royal authority.
==Description==
The stone bench is composed of two long panels that when alined together are over 5 metres in length. Both panels depict twenty seated individuals, split into two groups of ten facing each other, between which is engraved a central panel with hieroglyphic text. The scene portrayed on this enormous sculpture is thought to depict King Yax-Pac's accession to the throne, overseen by his ancestors from previous dynasties. Yax-pac is shown seated to the right of the central text; it is conjectured that the deceased kings' presence helped to justify his claim to the royal throne. The iconagraphy of the bench panel is very similar to the famous Copán Altar Q.
