The copies are in various collections in Europe and most of them have been proven false thanks to the TL test (cf. Schuler-Schömig 1970: 8, plate II, for the piece in Berlin and Mongne 1987: 25-26, fig. 10, for an example of the four pieces in Paris).

Glyphs:  Glyph C in the headdress. The glyph on one side of the head is unknown. The glyph for corn in the right hand. In the left hand, possibly another unknown plant, maybe it is the young corn (cf. Sellen 2002b). Dating:  TL by Shaplin and Zimmerman, 1978, test #21: authentic; TL by Lazos, Ortiz, Ruvalcaba and Sellen 1999, test #110375: authentic.
