Key:  MNA 6-6061 Actual Location:  National Anthropology Museum, Mexico City, Mexico (exhibited). Registration:  6-6061/ 103241 Provenance:  Entrance to tomb 58, Monte Albán, Oaxaca. Color:  White with traces of red pigment. Chronology:  Late MA IIIB (Caso and Bernal 1952:254); Pitao 350 - 500 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Caso and Bernal 1952: 254-255, fig. 400. Comments:  This object is very similar to SMI195806 and MFVV 55163 given that the figure wears a collar of human maxillae. The figure also grasps a trophy head in the left hand, characteristic that can be seen on SMI195806 but hanging around the neck. The right hand of the figure is holding a small ball, and the head is stylized to appear like a ball. All these features suggest a connection with ball playing. For other possible representations of ball players see: MFR 1233, SMI 19506, DAM 1971.0350, SLAM 171:1979, SMA 1.
