Comments:  Effigy of an incense bag tied with slip knot decorated with bows. A piece that looks exactly like this one is held at the National Anthropology Museum in Mexico City (cf. MNA 6-1600), but it is slightly more complete. Therefore there must have been at least two objects in the same series. The origen of the object is in doubt given that there are two versions of its provenance. Compare with MFR 2540, MFR 8898 and MH 24.13.3663.
Glyphs:  The glyph ñ.

Reference:  Photograph en the archive of Marshall H. Saville, American Museum of Natural History, box 27.
Comments:  Drawing based on a black and white photograph. An element is missing the center of the headdress, where it was adhered to the braid. Possibly this was a glyph C or perhaps a coefficient that accompanied one of the glyphs. A jaguar rests on top of the headdress, and this is a rare, but for a similar image see MFR 1473.

Reference:  Photograph of the piece in the Bellon collection in the archive of Marshall H. Saville, American Museum of Natural History, box 27.
Comments:  In September 1894 Martínez Gracida found this piece in a grave next to three other identical objects. Soon after he sold the objects: One to Luis Reynaud, two to Lucio Smith, and one to Eduard Seler along with the rest of his collection. Today there are two identical artefacts in the Smithsonian Institution but they are not complete (see SMI 198426 and SMI 198427). These come from Lucio Smith via E. W. Nelson. There is a more complete object in the Peabody Museum (see PMAE 10609) that was gift from the AMNH in 1929. This was the urn donated by Seler in 1895. The fourth piece, the urn purchased by Luis Reynaud, ended up in the Bellon collection. George Heye bought the object at auction in Paris in 1928 or 1929.
Glyphs:  The glyph C in the headdress. Based on the more complete objects, it also hade the glyph epsilon hanging from the ears.
