Key:  MNA 6-3315 Actual Location:  National Anthropology Museum, Mexico City, Mexico. Registration:  15-6 Provenance:  Building 1, Mound 1, Offering 3-1, Monte Albán, Oaxaca. Measurements:  32 cm.

Comments:  According to Caso and Bernal this vessel was found in a stratigraphical exploration, on a stucco floor that sealed the last level of Period II. They still see traits from Period II, but were not specific about what those are. The commas and circles decorating the cape were interpreted by them as representations of "chalchihuite" beads (green stones). This piece is probably missing details in the headdress.

They look more like the style we have called "San Lorenzo Albarradas", of which Linné published an urn we have already studied". (Examples in Linné, 1938: plates 14, 21).
