The north face of the relief depicts a total of 62 individuals structurally divided into two main groups behind a second large-scale male ruler standing atop a pedestal and occupying the entire height of the relief. He is oriented to the left with the lower body and head shown in profile and the upper body shown frontally. The shoulders are broad and the chest is framed by two robust arms flexed at the elbow, the hands clasped in front of the waist. Behind him follow 43 small-scale worshipers arranged along three registers. All have their hands clasped and wear short garments, except for the first in the top register and the first two in the second register who wear longer garments.
