Comments:  In September 1894 Martínez Gracida found this piece in a grave next to three other identical pieces. Soon after he sold all four 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 also SMI 198426). The pieces in the Smithsonian come from Lucio Smith via E. W. Nelson. The artefact in the Peabody Museum (see PMAE 10609) arrived via the AMNH in 1929. This is the most complete artifact and was the urn purchased by Eduard Seler in 1895. The fourth piece, purchased by Luis Reynaud, ended up in the Bellon collection (see NMAI 180086). Glyphs:  The epsilon glyph hangs from the ears. Glyph C in the headdress.

The copies are in various collections in Europe and most of them have been proven false thanks to the TL test (cf. Schuler-Schömig 1970: 8, plate II, for the piece in Berlin and Mongne 1987: 25-26, fig. 10, for an example of the four pieces in Paris).

Glyphs:  Glyph C in the headdress. The glyph on one side of the head is unknown. The glyph for corn in the right hand. In the left hand, possibly another unknown plant, maybe it is the young corn (cf. Sellen 2002b).
