Itzamnaaj Bahlam IV (2 July 741 AD to 808?) was a Maya ajaw (king) of the city of Yaxchilan. He was the son of Yaxun Bahlam IV and Lady Chak Joloom.[1] While Iztamnaaj may have been his name, some epigraphers argue for Kokaaj as the reading;[1] he is also sometimes called Shield Jaguar because of the appearance of the glyphs in his name.[2] Before he came into office, he used the pre-accession name of Chelew Chan K'inich, a name which he continued to use on monuments such as an unprovenanced panel held in the Kimball Art Museum.[3] His son was K'inich Tatbu Joloom IV, who became ruler of Yaxchilan after his father's death.[4]
Like his father and grandfather, he commissioned a number of monuments to document his rule. These include stelae 5, 7, 20, 21, 22, 24, and 29; Lintels 12, 13, 14, 51, 52, 53, 54, 57, and 58; Hieroglyphic Stairway 5; and Altar 10. Lintels 1, 2, 3, and 55 may also be from his reign.[2]
He appears to have a particularly close relationship with his maternal uncle, who may have served as his regent after his father's death. On the day of his birth, his mother and uncle performed a ritual involving the summoning of K'awiil.[1]
Itzamnaaj Bahlam was involved in military conquests of small sites surrounding Yaxchilan and was allies with the site of Laxtunich. On August 27, 783, a general named Aj Chak Maax presented Itzamnaaj Bahlam with captives as gifts.[3] This event was memorialized in an inscription carved by Mayuy Ti' Chuween from K'ina, a sculptor who also worked at Laxtunich.[3]
He was also involved with the accession of the leader of Bonampak.[2]
