Vase made of painted pottery in the form of a kneeling warrior, with club and shield, appearing poised for impending action. In real life his club was probably made of polished hardwood, although some maceheads were cast in metal. He wears a tunic bearing a spiral motif that is echoed on the pointed helmet and may distinguish his loyalty in battle. His breech cloth is spotted, echoing a jaguar pelt, and his belt is decorated with a repeated band of geometric motifs and a serrated fringe.
