The site contains 117 stelae, the largest total in the region. Most are in paired sets representing rulers and their wives. However, because these carved stelae were produced in soft limestone, most of these stelae have been eroded beyond interpretation. The most prominent figure in these murals is identified as Lady Nine Stone; she appears in many scenes. Calakmul is one of the most structure-rich sites within the Maya region.
