Cylindrical ceramic urn. The central motif is a feline head, probably that of a jaguar, crafted using modeling and appliqué techniques. Its open eyes, with rod-shaped irises, evoke its supernatural nature. Slightly parted jaws reveal prominent teeth and fangs, while rounded ears reinforce its feline identity. In Maya cosmology, the jaguar is closely associated with power, the night, and the underworld. On either side of the head, four vertical columns of conical spikes are arranged, resembling the thorns of a young ceiba trunk. The ceiba (Ceiba pentandra) represents the World Tree, planted at the center of the earth and connecting the three levels of the universe.
