介绍（中）	这只以"法典风格"绘制的杯子上的神秘场景显示，一只美洲豹拿着一个带注射器的灌肠膀胱，戴着一个似乎是白棉制成的围兜。古代玛雅人通过灌肠来饮用酒精饮料；在皇家陵墓中发现了特殊的骨灌肠管。在这个场景中，一条超自然的双头蛇从灌肠处出现；卷展照片左边的蛇头拿着一把斧头，好像在威胁一个骨瘦如柴的死神。死神没有腿，双手举向美洲豹的右侧。这种类型的美洲豹出现在其他船只场景中，尽管缺乏对比图像和过度印刷的象形文字阻碍了对场景的解读 "法典风格"的壶是所谓的绘画风格，与现存的四本玛雅书籍（即法典）非常相似，这些书籍位于马德里、巴黎、德累斯顿和墨西哥城。这些书可以追溯到后古典主义时期（约。　公元前。　1000–1492）。codex风格的特点是奶油色或淡黄色的滑动背景，通常由上下红色条纹框起来，以及勾勒人物和象形文字的黑色书法线条。有时画家会在人物或其他特征上涂上灰色的颜料。与玛雅大型器皿中色彩丰富的花瓶和碗形成鲜明对比的是，法典风格的壶在灰度上显得与众不同，这几乎可以肯定是它们相对于书法书籍发展的反映。
介绍（英）	The enigmatic scene on this cup painted in the 'codex-style' shows a jaguar holding an enema bladder with a syringe wearing what seems to be a bib made of white cotton. The ancient Maya consumed alcoholic beverages through enemas; special bone enema tubes have been found in royal tombs. In this scene, a supernatural bi-cephalic serpent is shown emerging from the enema; the head of the serpent to the left of the rollout photograph holds an axe, as if to threaten a skeletal death god. The death god is shown legless with its hands raised to the right of the jaguar. This type of jaguar makes an appearance in other vessel scenes, though a lack of comparative imagery and an overpainted hieroglyphic text impedes interpretation of the scene. ‘Codex-style’ pots are so-called for the style of painting which bears a close resemblance to the four extant screen-fold Maya books, known as codices, located in Madrid, Paris, Dresden, and Mexico City. These books date to the Postclassic Period (ca.　a.d.　1000–1492). The characteristics of the codex-style are a cream or yellowish slipped background, often framed by red bands above and below, and a black calligraphic line outlining figures and hieroglyphic texts. Sometimes the painters applied a gray wash to shade figures or other features. In contrast to the richly polychromed vases and bowls from the large corpus of Maya vessels, codex-style pots stand apart in their grayscale, which is almost certainly a reflection of their development vis-à-vis calligraphic books.
