Key:  MFR s/n 3 Actual Location:  Unknown (before at Frissell Museum). Provenance:  Unknown Measurements:  54 cm. Chronology:  MA IV (Boos 1966a: 63); Xoo 600 - 800 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Boos 1966a: 63, fig. 43; Paddock 1966: 148, fig. 150. Comments:  This figure is holding a type of staff in the left hand and a shield in the right arm. A bag of incense, with the head of an animal, probably a jaguar, hangs from the headdress. Bags of this type feature in headdresses of human figures carved on jambs in San Lázaro Zautla (cf. Urcid 1991: 10). Behind the bag is the head of a bird, perhaps a quetzal, placed on one side. In December 1959, while this piece was being taken to an exhibition, the transport car had an accident near Huitzo. It was stolen from the scene of the accident and never recovered.

Key:  MFVV 274 Actual Location:  Museum für Völkerkunde, Vienna, Austria. Collection:  Manuel Ortega Reyes Registration:  Ausst. Nr. 274 Provenance:  Unknown Chronology:  Pitao 350 - 500 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  von Müller 1998 [1864]: 82; Die Mexikanish Sammlungen de Museums für Völkerkunde, Vienna, 1965, plate 19. Comments:  The figure is missing the pectoral and the part of the mouth mask. He is holding a rope in the right hand, but, as concerns the object in the left hand, there was not enough detail in the photograph to determine its shape. The human figure has the same posture as pieces BM 1946/AM 19/6 and MFVB 28354, so it could be about self-sacrifice of the penis with the rope he is holding. Glyphs:  Glyph C in the headdress.

Key:  SMI 273401 Actual Location:  Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C., United States. Collection:  Theodore J. Pickett (deposited at the Museum, 1884; acquired from Pickett, 1912). Registration:  Cat. 273401; Acc. 15149 & 54670. Provenance:  Unknown Measurements:  52 x 38 cm. Color:  Dark grey clay with a lighter grey coating. Traces of red pigment. Chronology:  MA IIIA (Boos 1966b: 408); Pitao 350 - 500 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Boos 1966b: 408, fig. 377; Whitecotton 1977: 66. Comments:  This piece has a copy in plaster and that is why there are two acquisition numbers. The plaster copy is at the Field Museum in Chicago (no. 2569) (cf. letter from Clifford Evans to Frank Boos, 4 April 1962). In 1903, the Smithsonian Institution made three copies in plaster to distribute them to three museums. The figure is wearing a cape with small dots. The element in the central part of the headdress is missing. Due to the type of piece, it could have been the mask corresponding to glyph U, as it is surrounded by leaves corresponding to glyph 109. The elements hanging from the ear pieces are engraved.

Key:  MNA 6-2108 Actual Location:  Previously at the Museum of Cultures of Oaxaca. Collection:  José Juan Canseco 1853; Manuel Ortega Reyes 1860; Museum of Oaxaca. Registration:  6-2108; 11290 Provenance:  Ejutla (Martínez Gracida 1910: plate 102-3); Hacienda of San Isidro, Xoxo (Seler circa 1888). Measurements:  más de 60 cm. Color:  Green, red, yellow and light blue. Chronology:  MA IIIB (Boos 1966b: 388); Xoo 600-800 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Drawing in Müller 1998 [1864]: 82; drawing by Seler 1889; Photo: shelf at the Museum of Oaxaca, circa 1900, in Jesús Galindo and Villa 1905: plate 19; Boos 1966b: 388, fig. 359 (photo attributed to Marshall H. Saville). Comments:  Two provenances have been reported for this piece: Xoxocotlán and Ejutla, and the most reliable one is the latter, reported by Martínez Gracida (1910: unpublished) (see: Sellen, The Lost Drummer... 2005). The human figure carries on his back a large pot decorated with beads that could represent a drum. Thanks to a drawing by Edward Seler (Ibero-American Institute) and a description by Paso and Troncoso (1893), it was possible to reconstitute the object's original colors that today are no longer visible to the naked eye. Many forgeries have been inspired by this artifact, dating from around 1915. Glyphs:  The figure wears glyph G "deer", unfolded, as headdress (see Sellen 2005).
