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.

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:  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.

The figure is missing the right hand and large part of its base. Glyphs:  The glyph for corn (J) in the headdress and inserted into the collar the number three (3J).

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.

Chronology:  Pitao 350 - 500 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  http://www.barakatgallery.com/store Comments:  Seated figure wearing a Cocijo mask.

Key:  NMAI 180086 Actual Location:  National Museum of the American Indian, Smithsonian Institution Collection:  Louis Gustave Bellon; George Heye (donated 1931) Registration:  Col. Bellon no. 301; NMAI cat. 180086.000 Provenance:  Zaachila, Center District, Oaxaca Measurements:  45 x 41 cm. Color:  Grey clay Chronology:  Peche 500-600 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Photograph of the piece in the Bellon collection in the archive of Marshall H. Saville, American Museum of Natural History, box 27. Comments:  In September 1894 Martínez Gracida found this piece in a grave next to three other identical objects. Soon after he sold the objects: One to Luis Reynaud, two to Lucio Smith, and one to Eduard Seler along with the rest of his collection. Today there are two identical artefacts in the Smithsonian Institution but they are not complete (see SMI 198426 and SMI 198427). These come from Lucio Smith via E. W. Nelson. There is a more complete object in the Peabody Museum (see PMAE 10609) that was gift from the AMNH in 1929. This was the urn donated by Seler in 1895. The fourth piece, the urn purchased by Luis Reynaud, ended up in the Bellon collection. George Heye bought the object at auction in Paris in 1928 or 1929. Glyphs:  The glyph C in the headdress. Based on the more complete objects, it also hade the glyph epsilon hanging from the ears.

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.
