In addition to being his power base, the White House of Reading in Ek Balam housed the funerary chamber of kalomté Ukit Kan Le'k Tok', where his mortal remains rested until 1999. Entombed there, his body was covered with cinnabar and surrounded by twenty-one pottery and alabaster vessels that contained food and drink, as well as his most prized possessions, including flint knives and awls, as well as jade, shell, bone, and obsidian ornaments, and a gold pendant.
