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:  NMAI 1752214 Actual Location:  National Museum of the Americann Indian, Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C., United States Collection:  Louis Gustave Bellon; George Gustave Heye 1928 Registration:  Box: 1752214.000 (National Museum of the American Indian); Plaster cast lid: PC0089.000 Provenance:  San Jacinto Amilpas, Center District, Oaxaca Measurements:  Caja: 18.5 altura; 40 x 37 cm. Tapa: aprox 27.5 alt. Color:  Grey clay Chronology:  Xoo 600 - 800 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Photograph in the archive of Marshall H. Saville, America Museum of Natural History, Box 27. Comments:  This box and lid originally belonged to the Bellon collection, but was later acquired by George Heye, apparently without the lid. Based on an old photograph the museum fabricated a plaster cast of the original lid. The whereabouts of the original is unknown. On the four sides of the box there are figures missing their heads, but it is likely that these had masks of Cocijo similar to the one worn by the head on the box. Also, these figures hold implements in their hands: in the right hand there is a rope, while in the left a kind of scepter, or perhaps a digging stick. Glyphs:  On the top part of the box a design is drawn on the four borders representing the glyph V (alligator's eye). The pectoral plate is the glyph for "milpa".

Key:  AMNH 30.6331 Actual Location:  American Museum of Natural History, New York, United States Collection:  Marshall H. Saville Registration:  30/6331 Provenance:  Mound 7, Xoxocotlán, Oaxaca Color:  Greyware with traces of red pigment. White stucco on the backside of the object. Chronology:  Xoo 600 - 800 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Saville 1904: 56 Comments:  Seated figure placed upon a square tablet of clay, indicating that this object could have been the lid for a box. Given that the figure wears a huipil decorated with beads, is sitting on the knees, and also sports a braided headdress, we can infer that the sex of the person is female. The tube that supports the effigy is broken at the back and there is a thick application of stucco, thus it is possible that the artifact was once placed inside a niche. A large part of the braided headdress is missing.
