Polychrome tripod plate (black and red on orange) decorated with death-related symbols. At the center appears the image of a water lily leaf surrounded by three flowers with open corollas and three stamens. This motif, enclosed within a circle, is framed by a decorative band that extends across the entire interior wall surface, featuring crossed bones, bulging eyes, and what appear to be the eyes of supernatural beings with baton- or reptilian-shaped irises.

Plate with Death Motifs

Polychrome tripod plate with curving, flaring walls and conical supports. The interior decoration portrays a seated figure wearing an elaborate headdress and circular ear ornaments, with flexed arms, a short skirt, and red body paint applied to the skin. The figure is encircled by three red circles and framed by a decorative band composed of four paired vertical panels in orange with black on a cream ground, alternating with vertical red bands. At the center of the plate is an intentionally made circular perforation, corresponding to the act of “killing” the vessel, a practice commonly associated with intentional deposits. NAA of the ceramic paste indicates a likely area of manufacture in the vicinity between Caracol and Nakúm, in eastern Petén.

Zoomorphic Plate with Movable Bird Head

Codex-style tripod vase featuring a supernatural scene with 4 figures. The principal figure is an aged deity with a black-painted face and a serpentine body, identified as K’awil, holding a shell in his left hand, which he plays as a trumpet. Facing him is what appears to be a tripod plate, of which only a bulging eye and a femur are visible. A second figure is a feline zoomorph, possibly a puma due to the absence of characteristic spots, shown dancing and holding a skull in the right hand. Finally, a jaguar with a serpent coiled around its neck is shown encircling a seated human figure at the lower portion of the scene.  A red horizontal band runs above and below the rim, as well as along the lower portion of the wall. The surface has been repainted in some sections.
