Rectangular basin made from roughened brown, grey, and peach speckled stone. Four legs protrude from the bottom and a stylized jaguar head from a short side, teeth bared. The legs are carved with a repeating diamond pattern, each diamond with a dot in the center. The pattern extends onto the jaguar's forehead, between large, round eyes.
