Temple XIV is located at the northwest section of the Cross Group, north next to the Temple of the Sun. The platform that supports to the Temple has two bodies and one central stairs with alfarda that once displayed individual deformed stucco reliefs. The Mexican Archaeologist Jorge Acosta mentions that one or two characters are present on it; one of them is a fat woman. The temple or upper building was constructed in the typical style of Palenque : two parallel crujillas , the second one divided in three rooms. Its vault is of the type "cross vault", which is characterized because the thresholds (approximately the same dimensions of those of the Temple of the Inscriptions) are located a line over the vault, and the rear wall of crujías is located back of where this finishes.
Temple XIV was erected, maybe as a posthumous charge, by K´inich K´an Joy Chitam II who hired K´inich Kan B´alam 's throne on June 3 of 702 (9.13.10.6 .12. 9 Eb´ 10 Xul ). This is a commemorative building dedicated to Kan B´halam . The tablet shows this governor carrying out a dance on an aquatic band; the following band shows three cartridges that indicate the names of places (the central cartridge can be read as ti k´ahk´ nahb´ "the border of the sea"). Her mother, besides him, Lady Tz'akb´u, on her knees, holds a God K´awiil figure. The associated glyphic text indicates that in a remote and mythical date, 13 Ok 18 Wo , an event of indefinite nature, related with the entity Sak B´aak Naah Chapat , the God K´awiil's nahual or Way , happened. This fact was ordered by another one numen, the God B´olon yok-Té ; the text notes that all it "happened in the north". Another mythical date, 9 Ik´ , 10 Mol , says that for the first time the God K´awiil was taken because it was a command by "Lady of the Moon". It is possible that in this scene Tz´akb´u was figured as a Lunar Goddess incarnation.
