Vessel of the nine gods
Earthenware bowl in relief, 9 hieroglyphs, Maya, Early Classic period. The 9 glyphs represent 9 different gods: - G1 (variant of the rain god Chaak) - water lily god - sun god (with K'in sign) - Mih god (god of the number "zero") - alligator god with Itzamnaaj sign - god with S-shaped mask (mythical founder Naranjos) - god of the number 10 - youthful maize god with NAL sign on his head - tobacco snake god ( = mam, ancestor of the deceased kings of Palenque) Although the individual gods are relatively clearly identifiable, the context remains unclear.
