Figure of dwarf with mirror in the hands
Clay figure of a dwarf holding a mirror in front of him; he wears a deer headdress. The headband and loincloth are painted in the famous Mayan blue colour. Dwarves were part of the staff at the Mayan court. During the vision quest, they held a mirror up to the rulers, a motif that is also known from vase scenes.
