Codex-style vase depicting the presentation of cloth and feathers. A seated human male faces two seated figures, one with rabbit face and paws and another of unknown identity (the figure's head has been heavily repainted in modern times). Both hold large basins. Three nominal hieroglyphs comprise the only text and are found within the scene.

I like how maya gods and supernatural beings had different aspects, in this case the bunny is an skeletal being, his ears made out of bone
those are not ‘bunny ears’ – they are reptilian/demons feeding or its brain or influencing his thoughts. Notice the proboscis extending from the one on the left. off to the left is another serpent creature.
The ears look like tennis rackets to me
