Comments: Early representation of a Cocijo. Although the TL study by Goedicke et al. 1992 maintain that this object is a fake, my opinion, based on the object's iconography and signs of wear and breakage, is that the piece is authentic. |
Glyphs: The glyph C in the headdress is one of its kind. |
Dating: TL by Goedicke et al. 1992, test no. 1: not authentic (no date). |
