It is an ancient Costa Rican artwork dating back to approximately 1100 to 1200 AD, currently housed in the Minneapolis Museum of Art. This artifact is one of the classic ancient Costa Rican art forms, whose shape imitates a feline god that devours the sun. The surface is covered with rich and colorful painted patterns, which not only refer to leopards, but also involve celestial elements such as the sun and stars. The legs of these objects are usually hollow, with clay balls placed inside to make sound.
