Vase w/ Figures in Raptor Bird Costumes

3D Model

Polychrome vase (Orange, Red, and Black), with curved convergent walls and a flat base, decorated with two panels separated by vertical red bands. Each panel features a left-profile anthropomorphic figure with open eyes, aquiline nose, speech scrolls, and an open mouth. Both figures appear to be dressed in raptor bird costumes, from whose open beaks their heads emerge (possible warrior attire). Each panel includes a horizontal glyph band and a secondary vertical text with red glyphs outlined in black. NAA of the paste indicates the origin or manufacturing area as Tikal, Petén, likely from a workshop serving the elite.
