Stefan@ElleGray this is so cool but it was a pain to track down a reliable source to make sure it was real! https://unframed.lacma.org/2017/09/21/archaeology-el-%C3%BA-waka%E2%80%99-maya-ritual-resurrection-scene-broader-perspective
Archaeology at El Perú-Waka’: A Maya Ritual Resurrection Scene in Broader Perspective
An enchanting scene of 23 ceramic figurines, arranged by mourners in a circular configuration inside a royal tomb chamber, tells a story about the ritual life of the ancient Maya. This scene includes a deceased king accompanied by his animal spirit companion—a magical deer wearing an oval pendant with a motif in the shape of a capital “T” incised into it.
