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.

Key:  UBM CO1354 Actual Location:  Übersee Museum of Bremen, Germany. Collection:  Kluckhom-Stallforth (Dr. P. Kluckhom 1821, F.W. Stallforth 1921) Registration:  CO1354 Provenance:  Unknown Color:  Grey clay Chronology:  Pitao 350 - 500 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  König and Kröfges 2001: 99 Comments:  Although this object is not an "urn" we include it here because it is a type of effigy with a container. The bird sitting on top of this box is most probably a turkey (guajalote in Mexico) evident by the absence of feathers on the head and a fleshy protuberance that hangs from the top of its beak called a snood. The head of the bird has been perforated, perhaps for purposes of adding additional decoration or to place a cord through the object. Glyphs:  The glyph 6 Jaguar is inscribed in white on the front of the box. The glyph for "cloud" on one side of the bird.
