Key:  MNA 6-846 Actual Location:  National Anthropology Museum, Mexico City, Mexico. Collection:  Fernando Sologuren Registration:  6-846 Provenance:  Xoxocotlán, Oaxaca. Measurements:  59 cm. Color:  Grey clay Chronology:  Xoo 600 - 800 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Caso and Bernal 1952: 508, fig. 228 Comments:  There is confusion about who found this piece. According to Caso and Bernal (1952: 508) it was Marshall Saville and they cite his article of 1899. However, there is no mention of this piece in the work. It was undoubtedly part of the Sologuren Collection because it is shown in photos of his heritage, at the beginning of the last century. Glyphs:  Glyph C in the headdress (broken).

Key:  UD Yatachio Actual Location:  Unknown location Provenance:  Cruciform cache, Mound C, Yatachio, Mixteca Alta, Oaxaca Chronology:  Xoo 600 - 800 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Paddock 1953: 14-15, and 42, fig. 10. Comments:  (This information from Javier Urcid 2006) The cache had been seemingly disturbed, but it apparently had at least six anthropomorphic vases, including this one. The excavators report that this vase was "definitely not of a local make" (Paddock 1953: 15). Other objects associated with the cache included three small jade pieces (including a half broken disk), a shell piece, a tiny polished jade ring (from a composite earplug?), a small thick jade bead, and a button of shell. Glyphs:  The glyph C in the headress.

Key:  CBE 56 Actual Location:  Unknown location Collection:  Louis Gustave Bellon Registration:  Col. Bellon no. 56 Provenance:  Magdalena Apasco, District of Etla, Oaxaca Chronology:  Peche 500 - 600 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Photograph en the archive of Marshall H. Saville, American Museum of Natural History, box 27. Comments:  Drawing based on a black and white photograph. An element is missing the center of the headdress, where it was adhered to the braid. Possibly this was a glyph C or perhaps a coefficient that accompanied one of the glyphs. A jaguar rests on top of the headdress, and this is a rare, but for a similar image see MFR 1473.

Key:  NMAI 180086 Actual Location:  National Museum of the American Indian, Smithsonian Institution Collection:  Louis Gustave Bellon; George Heye (donated 1931) Registration:  Col. Bellon no. 301; NMAI cat. 180086.000 Provenance:  Zaachila, Center District, Oaxaca Measurements:  45 x 41 cm. Color:  Grey clay Chronology:  Peche 500-600 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Photograph of the piece in the Bellon collection in the archive of Marshall H. Saville, American Museum of Natural History, box 27. Comments:  In September 1894 Martínez Gracida found this piece in a grave next to three other identical objects. Soon after he sold the objects: One to Luis Reynaud, two to Lucio Smith, and one to Eduard Seler along with the rest of his collection. Today there are two identical artefacts in the Smithsonian Institution but they are not complete (see SMI 198426 and SMI 198427). These come from Lucio Smith via E. W. Nelson. There is a more complete object in the Peabody Museum (see PMAE 10609) that was gift from the AMNH in 1929. This was the urn donated by Seler in 1895. The fourth piece, the urn purchased by Luis Reynaud, ended up in the Bellon collection. George Heye bought the object at auction in Paris in 1928 or 1929. Glyphs:  The glyph C in the headdress. Based on the more complete objects, it also hade the glyph epsilon hanging from the ears.
