Codex Vase with Monkey and Turkey
License & Attribution
Description
Codex-style tripod vase, decorated with an underworld scene. The scene shows the image of a spider monkey, in left profile, wearing a piece of cloth over its shoulders formerly known as a "sacrificial scarf" but now associated with the supernatural characters known as wahy [way or waay]. The monkey has a deer's ear and a curled tail. In one of its hands he holds what is known as a "triadic plate" containing a severed hand, a nucleated eye and a femur. On the opposite side of the vase is the image of an ocellated turkey, standing with spread wings and tail. A series of curved, dotted lines painted above the bird's head seem to indicate that the turkey is in motion, perhaps dancing. The scene is framed by two horizontal red bands.
