The figure depicted in this spouted vessel is shown as a man seated on his knees and is looking upward holding probably a rope with maracas (ritualistic rattle) tied at one end. The protruded cheek suggests chewing of cocoa leaf. The figure is probably a shaman healer and is shown being in trance. The figure is wearing a patterned belt, a tunic and an elaborate neck ornament.
