Plate, codex style
Painted clay plate in codex style; in the centre of the base of the plate is a small hole with a ritual function (ritual killing of the object; the clay plate was probably a burial offering). It depicts a scribe god or a long-nosed god such as K'awiil or Chaak. The place of origin is thought to be the El Mirador basin.
