Lamaw Ek'
Male, Person
Who is Lamaw Ek'?
Lamaw Ek' was a Maya king of city-state Motul de San José in Guatemala. He ruled 755?–779.
A vessel bearing depicting Lamaw Ek' was found as far away as Altar de Sacrificios. Analysis has revealed that it was manufactured in Motul de San José, indicating some form of interaction between these distant sites.
Lamaw Ek' ruled directly after Yajaw Te' K'inich but was not his son, on one vessel his father is given the title k'uhul Ik'nal, a "divine noble of Motul de San José" but not the king. Each of these two rulers had his own dedicated master painter.
The name of the painter who produced the ceramic vessels for Lamaw Ek' is only partially deciphered.
