About this 3D model

Stone receptacles reached their time of greatest popularity with the 16th (and last) ruler of Copan. They were easily moved about and may have occupied different stations on circular bases throughout the calendar year. They were often used as containers for liquid food offerings to the deities rather than burned offerings. Their glyphic name has been deciphered as "sac lac tuun" meaning “white stone container" or most probably ”white incense container”. The top of the censer represents a bat, and the body is decorated with cocoa fruits.
