The most unique feature of this fine bowl is the rows of bumps on the lower half of the exterior. This was an imitation of the texture of a desert plant common in the areas of Mayan domination. On the upper decorative band of the exterior, a procession of intricately detailed snake deities is painted along with two glyphs. The snake deities are depicted with a sharp hooking nose, while some of the figures are hybrid combinations of snakes and alligators. The alligator deities are represented by long flat jaws and curving noses. Just as much attention is also shown to the interior of the bowl. A braided knot pattern fills the bottom of the basin encircled by a red ring. A procession of eleven stylized turkeys (or perhaps vultures) decorates the majority of the interior. Two black bars border this frieze of pheasants. This bowl is a wonderful amalgamation of various flora and fauna filtered through the eyes of the Mayan artists.
