Key:  YUAG 29.19.1958 Actual Location:  Yale University Art Gallery (lent by Fred Olsen). Collection:  Acquision 1903. Originally from Enrique Juan Palacios, Reg. #6 (INAH); Fred Olsen. Registration:  29.19.1958 (Eubanks gives number 1973.88.10. Why two numbers? Are there two pieces?) Provenance:  Unknown Measurements:  44.5 cm. Color:  Traces of paint. Chronology:  MA IIIB (Boos 1966b: 185, Eubanks 1999: 117); Xoo 600 - 800 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Boos 1966b: 185, fig. 164; Eubanks 1999: 117-118, fig. 93. Comments:  This piece is one of a series. The total number of pieces in the series is unknown, but there are at least two. The other piece is published in an auction's catalog (Parke-Bennet Galleries, 23 May 1970, fig. 76). The auction's piece is identical, except for a frame of volutes behind the figure. It is very likely that the piece of the Olsen Collection had this frame as well, but it fell off at some point and that is why the piece has been herein reproduced with the reconstructed volutes. Compare with MNA 6-6754. Glyphs:  Glyph C in the headdress flanked by two ears of corn.
