Comments:  This piece was taken to France in 1845 by French Consul Martin. Eugène Boban purchased it in 1870 and tried to sell it, unsuccessfully, to the Smithsonian Institution in 1887.

There is no object in the other hand, but the gesture indicates he once held something. A trophy head hangs from his collar piece that is made up of human maxillae. The piece looks like MFVV 55163 and fragment MFR 1233. It may represent a young ball-game player with his head shaved.

Key:  MNA 6-395 Actual Location:  National Anthropology Museum, Mexico City, Mexico. Collection:  Fernando Sologuren Registration:  6-395 Provenance:  San Martín, Oaxaca [?] Measurements:  18 cm. Chronology:  Peche 500 - 600 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Caso and Bernal 1952: 82, fig. 132. Comments:  Caso and Bernal (1952: 82) say: "An urn has 4 beads in the headdress instead of 2, as if to say that the name of the goddess is 4 J instead of 2 J. The goddess is represented in a sitting position, with the hands on her chest, in an attitude that is characteristic of the urns of period IIIA. In spite of this anomaly, we believe that it is the same goddess". In a photo from the E. Seler Collection, this piece is illustrated when it was part of the Sologuren Collection. The missing part is a jaguar's head. Glyphs:  Four numerals decorating the braids in the headdress and a jaguar's head in the center (missing) (4 B).
