Pre-Columbian, Maya Territories, Late Classic period, ca. 500 to 900 CE. A mold-formed pottery lid meant to top a cinerarium. The lid presents in the form of a jaguar laying prone with legs splayed out to the sides of its semicircular body, a sinuous tail draped off the hind legs, and layers of orange-red pigment across the surfaces. The feline countenance presents with bulging eyes, a narrow nose with a shallow crest on the bridge, perky ears, and raised jowls that reveal a broad tongue and sharp teeth. The hollow lid base would allow smoke into the lid and out of the jaguar's hollow maw.
