Reference:  not published
Comments:  This object has very specific provenance information, including a mention of a "14th season", suggesting that it came from one of Alfonso Caso's 18 seasons in the field beginning in 1930. If this is the case, we cannot explain how the object found its way into the hands of a private collector before being donated to a museum.
