Ceremonial Mace (Club) Head: Feline (Jaguar?)
https://clevelandart.org/art/1949.469
Probably once mounted on wooden shafts, these objects could have served as symbols of chiefly authority, group insignia, the heads of ceremonial weapons, or all three. They eventually were placed in elite graves. The bird may be a male curassow and the feline, a jaguar.
