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.

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. He ended up selling it to E. Goupil around 1888. Later, George Heye bought it in an auction in France and took it to his museum in New York. This human figure is holding a jaguar vase in one hand. 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.
