Rattray says: "It is certain that the urn was already incomplete when the burial took place (1987: 245) [...] This urn corresponds to the perfect Monte Albán style, completely made of clay from the Valley of Mexico (Sayre and Harbottle 1979, Catalog no. 1: 202). | Glyphs: An early variation of glyph C in the headdress. | |
