Key:  EMB 28354 Actual Location:  Ethnographic Museum (Ethnologisches Museum), Berlin, Germany. Collection:  Edward Seler 1897 Registration:  IV Ca. 28354 Provenance:  Yatzechi, Oaxaca. Measurements:  21.9 x 12 dia. cm. Color:  Grey clay with traces of a lighter grey paint. Chronology:  MA V (Eubanks 1999: 148); Late Xoo 600 - 800 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Fuhrmann 1922: plate 65; Boos 1968: 2; Schuler-Schömig 1970: 87, plate 117; Mongne 1987: 39 (drawing); Eubanks 1999: 147-148, fig. 119; Deimal and Ruhnau 2000: 18; Sellen 2002: 14, fig. 12a (drawing). Comments:  Mongne (1987: 39) published this piece as an example of forgery, but thanks to the TL test (Goedicke et al, 1992), we know it is authentic. There is a very similar piece at the British Museum of London (see BM1964/AM 19/6). The ear of corn is a representation of the virile member pierced by a cord in an act of ritual bleeding (cf. Sellen 2002: 14). Also see MFVW 274 for another human figure holding a blood letting cord in his hand. Glyphs:  Glyph C in the headdress. The broken part of glyph C has been repaired. Dating:  TL by Goedicke et al. 1992: 71, test 117, authentic (TL's date: 1144-1272 AD).

Key:  EMB 35272 Actual Location:  Ethnographic Museum (Ethnologisches Museum), Berlin, Germany. Collection:  Edward Seler 1911 Registration:  IV Ca. 35272 Provenance:  Hacienda de Cacique, District of Etla, Oaxaca. Measurements:  21.3 x 5.6 cm. Color:  Grey clay with traces of red paint and white stucco. Chronology:  MA IIIA (Winter 1994a: 144); Tani 200 - 350 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Schuler-Schömig 1970: 116, plate 173; Winter 1994a: 144. Comments:  This urn is typical from the phase that Caso and Bernal called "transition" because of the type of headdress that looks like a lamp shade. The human figure is holding a mouth mask with feline traits. The right arm has been repaired. There is photograph at the Ibero American Institute in Berlin showing Edward Seler at the Hacienda de Cacique, next to a table with this piece and others. Due to the ceramic types associated with the urn, we can infer that it was part of a ceramic assemblage from the transition period and probably comes from a single burial. Glyphs:  Glyph C in the headdress. Dating:  TL by Goedicke et al. 1992, test no.173: authentic (TL's date: A.C. 796-918).
