The tomb is one of three recently unearthed in the area. While previous finds at Caracol-such as central Mexican artifacts discovered in 2010-suggested influence from Teotihuacán, these earlier tombs appear to belong to native Maya royalty, predating that contact by a generation.

A rare mosaic death mask made of jadeite and vessels in the shapes of an owl, a monkey and coati-mundi were found with the ruler.
