Key:  MFR 1473 Actual Location:  Frissell Museum, Mitla, Mexico. Collection:  Howard Leigh Registration:  MFR 1473 Provenance:  Mixteca Alta? Measurements:  36 x 26.5 cm. Color:  Red, white, blue and yellow paint. Chronology:  Xoo 600 - 800 AD?   Click to view Chronology Comments:  Paddock says in a letter to Philippa Shaplin (30/04/76) that this piece was carrying a vessel on its back and was used as a brazier. He also speculates that it comes from the Mixteca Alta, so it is possible that it was not made by the Zapotecs. Paddock believes that the piece was painted after it was fired, just like the piece that was found by Bernal in Magdalena Jicotlán (MNA 6-7892). The human figure has a jaguar in the headdress and some element was hanging from the ear pieces, but are now missing. See CBE 56 for a similar image of a jaguar on the headdress.

Chronology:  MA IIIA (Bernal 1976: 297-298); Pitao 350 - 500 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Bernal 1976: 297, fig. 3. Comments:  Bernal (1976: 297) comments that this piece looks like another one published by Caso and Bernal, which comes from Backyard I, Well 2-R in Atzompa (1952, Fig. 436) because of the type of headdress and the way in which the hands are placed on the chest. It is even more similar to piece WM 1961.37 because it has the same glyph, 1B. The shape under the numeral is not truthfully represented because the published photo of the piece is not very clear. Glyphs:  Numeral 1 and a jaguar (glyph B) between the legs (1B).
