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:  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.
