Chronology:  Transition period (Caso and Bernal 1952: 35); Tani 200 - 350 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Caso and Bernal 1952: 35, fig. 36. 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.

Color:  Grey clay covered with red pigment. Chronology:  Transition period (Caso and Bernal 1953: 250); Tani 200 - 350 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Caso and Bernal 251: fig. 394; Richness of Ancient Mexico, Lafayette Galleries, 1994, p. 6, fig. 5. Comments:  Caso and Bernal (1952: 250) say: "The three numerals found under the pectoral may be the ones accompanying the glyph in the headdress, which we have not been able to read, maybe because the style of this figure differs from the style we know in Monte Albán and other places of the Valley. 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). Tomb 41 dates from MA-IIIB-IV. Glyphs:  Glyph L (Loo) in the face. Three numerals under the pectoral (3L).

Comments:  This piece was found by Alfonso Caso in the period PMA IV (1934-1935). According to Caso and Bernal, the piece is an early expression of the "God with Head Piece of a Wide-Beaked Bird" (1952: 204). Flannery and Marcus believe that the urn represents a warrior because, according to them, the head piece worn by the figure is a bird of prey (1996: 199). See also MNA t/77, no. 3.
