Drawing of lidded four-legged vessel. Each of four legs represents a downward facing peccary. Atop the lid the Sun God, wearing a cap marked with k'in ("sun") paddles his canoe through a watery environment containing fish. This vessel has been interpreted as representing the Sun God paddling his canoe across the ecliptic and the constellation of Gemini.
