Were jaguar! 🐆
A Mayan incense burner depicting a were-jaguar from Tacotalpa, Tabasco. It is an anthropomorphic figure with jaguar features, richly adorned with a headdress and ceremonial elements. Some sources link it to the sun god in the underworld. Incense burners were fundamental objects in Mayan rituals.

Today was very exciting, despite the torrential downpour this morning. As well as the paper on ritual use of vagina models, I
also got my first ever leads on some possible trans women in pharaonic Egypt.
