There is an unpublished drawing by Urcid of the pieces in situ on the facade. Comments:  This piece is part of a series of five pieces excavated by Marshall Saville. He found them embedded over a lintel engraved with glyphs, at the entrance of a tomb. On both sides of the central vessel, there were two stucco skulls embedded in the facade (see Urcid's reconstruction). Each urn was protected with a plate when the tomb was buried. They are lids and Saville (1899: 359) maintains that he found the matching boxes, broken and thrown into the fill that was used to cover the tomb.

Key:  MCO 2702 Actual Location:  Museum of Cultures of Oaxaca, City of Oaxaca, Mexico (exhibited). Registration:  2702 Provenance:  In front of the entrance to tomb 7, Monte Albán, Oaxaca. Chronology:  Xoo 600 - 800 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Caso 1932a: 19-20, fig. 32; Caso 1932b: 466-467; Caso & Bernal 1952: 44, figs. a, b, c; Bernal 1979: 144, fig. 52. Comments:  This piece was found flanked by two pieces of lid and box, but the lids of the other two pieces are different, as they represent the Cocijo. Caso and Bernal identified the human figure of the illustrated urn as "The God of Corn" (1952: 46). The three pieces were found broken and, according to Caso (1932: 20), the position of the two fragments proves that the break was intentional and that, after doing so, the objects were buried. Caso excavated tomb 7 in the first PMA I period (1931-1932). Glyphs:  Glyph C in the headdress flanked by two ears of corn.
