Attribution - NonCommercial - ShareAlike 4.0 InternationalStone vessel with carved reclining figure and hieroglyphs. The reclining man wears the hat of a blowgunner and can therefore be identified as one of the divine hero twins of the Classic Maya. Such stone vessels are very rare. The last two glyphs can be read as CHAN-KALO'MTE' AYIIN, which presumably tells us the name and title of the noble owner. The glyph CHAN provides a possible reference to Jaina as a place, as this glyph (with the possible translations: heaven, serpent or four) is part of Jaina's emblem glyph.
