Found Near Cancun

Found this piece Near Cancun in 1997 near mayan ruins. Appears to me to be a snake or turtle character. I also think that given the hole and bowl this may have been some sort of Pipe. Also found a scraper same day.

Does anyone have any thoughts about this?

Thanks and cheers to finding treasures of all types.

No idea. I do know that the Mayan would adorn the outside of pots with effigy items and they often times came off. I have a face that was attached to a pot.

The object in question is ceramic "foot" off of a tri-legged pot. It should rattle. Shape appears to be a dogs head. Style is similar to post classic.

Thank you. It is hollow though and also has a perfect round hole which made me think if a pipe bowl. Cheers.
