Rectangular ceramic box with lid. The lid is decorated with an anthropomorphic figure in relief, possibly a warrior, wearing a helmet in the form of a feline (jaguar) head with open jaws.

The full-body figure is rendered using modeling and appliqué techniques. The box bears the image of a knot in relief, with pendant volutes.

Traces of white stucco remain.

From the Guatemalan Highlands, possibly Quiché.
