Key:  MNA 6-846 Actual Location:  National Anthropology Museum, Mexico City, Mexico. Collection:  Fernando Sologuren Registration:  6-846 Provenance:  Xoxocotlán, Oaxaca. Measurements:  59 cm. Color:  Grey clay Chronology:  Xoo 600 - 800 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Caso and Bernal 1952: 508, fig. 228 Comments:  There is confusion about who found this piece. According to Caso and Bernal (1952: 508) it was Marshall Saville and they cite his article of 1899. However, there is no mention of this piece in the work. It was undoubtedly part of the Sologuren Collection because it is shown in photos of his heritage, at the beginning of the last century. Glyphs:  Glyph C in the headdress (broken).

Key:  UD Yatachio Actual Location:  Unknown location Provenance:  Cruciform cache, Mound C, Yatachio, Mixteca Alta, Oaxaca Chronology:  Xoo 600 - 800 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Paddock 1953: 14-15, and 42, fig. 10. Comments:  (This information from Javier Urcid 2006) The cache had been seemingly disturbed, but it apparently had at least six anthropomorphic vases, including this one. The excavators report that this vase was "definitely not of a local make" (Paddock 1953: 15). Other objects associated with the cache included three small jade pieces (including a half broken disk), a shell piece, a tiny polished jade ring (from a composite earplug?), a small thick jade bead, and a button of shell. Glyphs:  The glyph C in the headress.

Key:  CBE 56 Actual Location:  Unknown location Collection:  Louis Gustave Bellon Registration:  Col. Bellon no. 56 Provenance:  Magdalena Apasco, District of Etla, Oaxaca Chronology:  Peche 500 - 600 AD   Click to view Chronology 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.
