Large vase with two horizontal lines decorated with repeating geometric motifs. Between these two lines is a decoration consisting of two panels, each depicting a man lying on his back. He wears a feather costume and a three-feather headdress. Between each panel are a series of small rectangles featuring bat heads. These squares of bat heads recall the famous vase of the same name at LACMA in Los Angeles (M.90.168.18).
