GI-K'awiil (G1-K'awiil) was a Queen consort of Dos Pilas. She is also known as the Lady of Cancuén.

Biography

She was born in Cancuén. She married Ucha'an K'in B'alam, king of Dos Pilas. It is likely that they had no children, because the successor of her husband was not her son.

Dos Pilas Panel 19 depicts Ucha'an K'in B'alam and GI-K'awiil presiding over a ritual featuring a young boy.

The Hieroglyphic Bench of GI-K'awiil labels her husband as "He of Five Captives".
