Lady Eveningstar (Ix Uhu'l Chan Lem)

According to the cited epigraphic and secondary literature, Ix Uhu'l Chan Lem was born in 704 and died in 751. The modern literature identifies her as originating from Dzibanche and bearing the high-status designation described as a 'Kalo'mte' of the East, which the sources use to explain her arrival at Yaxchilan as part of a political marriage alliance. She is presented in scholarship as a secondary wife of King Itzamnaaj Bʼahlam III (also called Shield Jaguar the Great) whose dynastic position and foreign origin link her to the Kaan (Calakmul/Dzibanche) political sphere. Modern English nicknames such as 'Lady Eveningstar' and 'Lady Ik' Skull' are scholarly labels applied in secondary literature and are not presented in the provided materials as literal translations from the glyphic record.

The provided sources do not supply a descriptive iconographic or physical portrayal of Ix Uhu'l Chan Lem. Epigraphic references associate her with monumentary text—specifically a monument referred to as stela 35—yet the excerpts given do not include any sculptural or painted description of her attire, features, or visual representation. Thus, no primary-source iconographic description is documented in the supplied materials.

The sources attribute political and dynastic roles rather than supernatural abilities. She is identified as a wife of Itzamnaaj Bʼahlam III, called a 'Kalo'mte' of the East in the secondary literature cited, and is hypothesized by some scholars to have acted as a regent or exercised authority during an interregnum (proposed ca. 742–751) until her son Yaxun Bʼalam IV succeeded in 752. The literature treats her possible rulership as a scholarly interpretation of the epigraphic record rather than as an unequivocal statement of fact.
