Tilom    A sajal of La Pasadita, a subordinate center to Yaxchilan (ruled ca. AD 759-771)PSD 001
Buildings Commissioned:
Structure 1 at La Pasadita and probably all or most of the other structures at that site. La Pasadita Lintels 1 and 2 almost certainly come from Structure 1, and the murals of Structure 1 probably portray Tilom and Yaxun B'alam IV of Yaxchilan. This makes it very likely that the dedication date of Structure 1 is 9.16.15.0.0 (AD 766)—the date of Lintel 2, and just a few years before Yaxun B'alam IV's death. The New York City and Unknown Location lintels date from Chelte’ Chan K’inich Itzamnaj B'alam IV's reign, and so we can presume that at least one other building in La Pasadita (or some site nearby) was dedicated by Tilom, probably in the 770s.
