A Pre-Columbian Mayan circular high-walled dish with polychrome glyphs and illustrations in the Motul de San Jose style. Two seated figures face each other, one with a gesture of resignation and the other with a staff and deer headdress, suggesting he is the capturing lord. A second scene features three figures with the surrendering captive presenting himself to the capturing lord and a member of his entourage. Glyphs provide the names of each attendant.
