Measurements:  20.5 cm. Color:  Grey clay with a lighter coating and traces of red pigment on face and headdress Chronology:  MA IIIA (Boos 1964b ); Pitao 350 - 500 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Boos 1964b: vol. 1, plate XXXI. Comments:  Right foot missing. Boos says (1964b): "There is a remarkable peculiarity in several urns of this type: the back rim of the urn's hole has been designed in such a way that it looks like a pitcher's pourer, sticking out of the urn's front rim". This piece's face was copied and used for a false piece that is shown in Seler's Collection in Berlin (cf. Schuler-Schömig 1970: 144). However, there are very similar pieces that are authentic; see, for instance, EMB 35256. Dating:  TL by Lazos, Ortiz, Ruvalcaba and Sellen, 1999, test #110387: authentic.

Key:  MFVV 274 Actual Location:  Museum für Völkerkunde, Vienna, Austria. Collection:  Manuel Ortega Reyes Registration:  Ausst. Nr. 274 Provenance:  Unknown Chronology:  Pitao 350 - 500 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  von Müller 1998 [1864]: 82; Die Mexikanish Sammlungen de Museums für Völkerkunde, Vienna, 1965, plate 19. Comments:  The figure is missing the pectoral and the part of the mouth mask. He is holding a rope in the right hand, but, as concerns the object in the left hand, there was not enough detail in the photograph to determine its shape. The human figure has the same posture as pieces BM 1946/AM 19/6 and MFVB 28354, so it could be about self-sacrifice of the penis with the rope he is holding. Glyphs:  Glyph C in the headdress.

Key:  SMI 273401 Actual Location:  Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C., United States. Collection:  Theodore J. Pickett (deposited at the Museum, 1884; acquired from Pickett, 1912). Registration:  Cat. 273401; Acc. 15149 & 54670. Provenance:  Unknown Measurements:  52 x 38 cm. Color:  Dark grey clay with a lighter grey coating. Traces of red pigment. Chronology:  MA IIIA (Boos 1966b: 408); Pitao 350 - 500 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Boos 1966b: 408, fig. 377; Whitecotton 1977: 66. Comments:  This piece has a copy in plaster and that is why there are two acquisition numbers. The plaster copy is at the Field Museum in Chicago (no. 2569) (cf. letter from Clifford Evans to Frank Boos, 4 April 1962). In 1903, the Smithsonian Institution made three copies in plaster to distribute them to three museums. The figure is wearing a cape with small dots. The element in the central part of the headdress is missing. Due to the type of piece, it could have been the mask corresponding to glyph U, as it is surrounded by leaves corresponding to glyph 109. The elements hanging from the ear pieces are engraved.
