A domestic couple, with the man sitting cross-legged, holding a bowl that may have had a stick placed in the opening at the top, which appears to have been broken off. He wears a spotted one-shouldered cape, a pointed headdress and large circular ear ornaments. The woman sits to one side and holds a small bowl in one hand between her breasts, the other hand touches the back of her neck. She wears a skirt, necklaces, ear ornaments and a headdress. Classic examples of the sheep-face style from Jalisco.
