This container is quite peculiar. It was looted at some point in the last century, so it is not possible to learn much of their meaning or context.
However, it seems to be that it was a drinking vessel during holidays, which was subsequently deposited as an offering. In the vessel there are three characters: a jaguar, a man and a bird.
By the order, we can infer that the jaguar represents the underworld, the man in the earthly world and the bird to the celestial world. As this is a glass to celebrate, it seems to invite us to celebrate life, because the supernatural and unnatural, are always present.
