Description:

This codex style vessel represents a scene for the underworld, Xilbaba. An aged Maya god emerges from the mouth of the bearded dragon, Ochu Chan. Behind the old God appears the profile image of the Jeslure (sic) God, a god important to Maya nobility. In front of the old god is an offering vessel with human bones, an eyeball, and a severed hand.
