Key:  MNA 6-78 Actual Location:  National Anthropology Museum, Mexico City, Mexico (exhibited). Registration:  6-78; INAH 10-3199 Provenance:  Cistern IV, Monte Albán, Oaxaca. Measurements:  14.4 x 12 cm. Color:  Orange and grey. Chronology:  MA IIIA (Caso and Bernal 1952: 297); Pitao 350 - 500 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Caso and Bernal 1952: 174, fig. 297; Paddock 1966: 132, fig. 106; Funerary furniture (Mobilier funéraire) fig. 5; The richness of Ancient Mexico (Les richesses de l'Ancien Mexique), 1994: 6, fig. 4. Comments:  Caso and Bernal (1952: 174) designate this piece as MA-IIIA because the rim of the vase is wide and turned outwards like in the "flower vases" that were characteristic of the time. Because the efigie is wearing a "huipil" it probably represents a female impersonator. Glyphs:  Human figure with an owl's head or glyph F and, in the chest, numeral 1 (1 F).

Measurements:  aprox. 20 cm.

Key:  AMNH 30.6331 Actual Location:  American Museum of Natural History, New York, United States Collection:  Marshall H. Saville Registration:  30/6331 Provenance:  Mound 7, Xoxocotlán, Oaxaca Color:  Greyware with traces of red pigment. White stucco on the backside of the object. Chronology:  Xoo 600 - 800 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Saville 1904: 56 Comments:  Seated figure placed upon a square tablet of clay, indicating that this object could have been the lid for a box. Given that the figure wears a huipil decorated with beads, is sitting on the knees, and also sports a braided headdress, we can infer that the sex of the person is female. The tube that supports the effigy is broken at the back and there is a thick application of stucco, thus it is possible that the artifact was once placed inside a niche. A large part of the braided headdress is missing.
