Small cormorant vase

Painted clay mug, so-called "small cormorant vase", hieroglyphic band on the upper outer rim, repeated cormorant depictions below. This vase comes from Naranjo and was probably made by an artist who produced prestigious ceramic vessels on behalf of the ruler K'ahk' Tiliw. Other vessels such as the "bunny vase" and the "Buenavista vase" most likely originate from the same workshop.
