Abstract
The Baakal emblem glyph was one of the few emblems that were shared by different cities during the Classic Period. Originally appearing at Palenque, this emblem glyph would later be used by rulers at Tortuguero and Comalcalco. The close study of the emblem glyph’s development reveals that it was brought to Tortuguero through royal marriage while its later use by Comalcalco rulers is indicative of Palenque’s growing influence in the western Maya Lowlands. El glifo emblema de Baakal fue uno de los pocos que compartieron diferentes ciudades durante el período Clásico Maya. Aunque originalmente apareció en Palenque, este glifo emblema sería usado más tarde por los gobernantes de Tortuguero y Comalcalco. El estudio detallado del desarrollo del glifo emblema revela que fue traído a Tortuguero a través de un matrimonio real, mientras que su uso posterior por los gobernantes de Comalcalco es indicativo de la creciente influencia de Palenque en las Tierras Bajas Mayas Occidentales.
