Seated two-legged figure with tail

Seated, two-legged figure with tail. Two animal heads in relief project from shoulders in back, and a small animal, possibly a dog, stands astride the brimmed hat worn by the figure. A bar is held out in front of the body in hands that have no form. This bar, possibly a musical instrument, and details of the costume, are painted in red and cream stripes and dots on a reddish pottery ground. Wooden stand. Close to 'Ixtlan del Rio' type.
