    DescriptionThis codex-style vase shows an older lord with headdress and axe characteristic of the rain god Chahk, with two attendants behind him. The attendants wear the sarong and tonsured hair of palace scribes and may be in attendance at a ceremony in order to commemorate the performance of this rite. Before the lord are three figures dressed as hunters and a central figure in the process of embodying the Maize Deity. Four glyphic captions frame the actors.
