Double bodied pot with incised decoration and lateral handles with anthropomorphic representation half bat half human from Chicoide style. The bat is a common motif in Taino representational art. These bat – head adornos were affixed to the sides of pots where they communicated the Taino worldview while serving as handles. The importance of bats comes from their habit of living in caves, which were the portals to the supernatural world, and because they are active at night when spirits roam the forest.
