Chronology:  MA IIIB (Boos 1966: 29); MA IIIB-IV (Winter 1994: 145); Peche 500 - 600 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Martínez Gracida, Oaxacan Indians and their archaeological monuments, Vol. I, Ceramics, 1910, plate 81, unpublished work; Boos 1966b: 30, fig. 2.; Winter 1994: 145. Comments:  In September 1894 Martínez Gracida found this piece in a grave next to three other identical pieces. Soon after he sold all four objects: one to Luis Reynaud, two to Lucio Smith, and one to Eduard Seler along with the rest of his collection. The object in the Peabody was a donation from the AMNH in 1929, and is the urn that Seler purchased from Martínez Gracida in 1895. Today there are two artefacts identical to the one at the Peabody Museum in the Smithsonian Institution but they are not as complete (see SMI 198426 and SMI 198427). The pieces in the Smithsonian come from Lucio Smith via E. W. Nelson. The fourth piece, the urn purchased by Luis Reynaud, ended up in the Bellon collection (see NMAI 180086). Glyphs:  The epsilon glyph hangs from the ears. Glyph C in the headdress.

Key:  ROM 1399 Actual Location:  Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, Canada. Collection:  Constantino Rickards Registration:  HM 1399 Provenance:  Santo Domingo Galiesa, District of Ocotlán, Oaxaca. Measurements:  43.2 cm. Color:  Light grey clay with a light grey coating. Chronology:  Xoo 600 - 800 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Photo from the Rickards Collection circa 1917; Rickards 1938: 164, plate V (Rickards published a copy of this piece); Treasures of Pre-Columbian Art 1959: no. 547; Woeller 1960: plate 28; Boos 1968a: vol. III, plate XI; Sellen 1999: fig. 1, 2002a. Comments:  This piece has been forged with copies. The copies are in various collections in Europe and most of them have been proven false thanks to the TL test (cf. Schuler-Schömig 1970: 8, plate II, for the piece in Berlin and Mongne 1987: 25-26, fig. 10, for an example of the four pieces in Paris). Rickards (1938: 164) reports that four vessels like this one came out of a tomb in Santo Domingo. If this information is true, then the location of the other three original pieces is unknown. Glyphs:  Glyph C in the headdress. The glyph on one side of the head is unknown. The glyph for corn in the right hand. In the left hand, possibly another unknown plant, maybe it is the young corn (cf. Sellen 2002b). Dating:  TL by Shaplin and Zimmerman, 1978, test #21: authentic; TL by Lazos, Ortiz, Ruvalcaba and Sellen 1999, test #110375: authentic.

Key:  ROM 1430 Actual Location:  Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, Canada. Collection:  Constantino Rickards Registration:  HM 1430 / 917.4.49 Provenance:  Tenango, District of Etla, Oaxaca. 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.
