DescriptionA codex style cylinder style vase with upper and lower ried rim bands and a heavy line drawing of 2 personages with a brief vertical glyph text. Vase is of importance because of its unique iconographic significance. A seated figure in fox headdress with jaguar deity body marking and 1 foot extension in the form of a dragon element is placed before a large urn with an emblem glyph containing a ritual enema. On the other side of the enema urn is a prone figure with upflung legs, wearing a plumed and lotus bud headdress and a slat glyphoid text.Catalogue raisonnéMaya Vase Database (Kerr #1381), http://research.mayavase.com/
