Key: MNA 6-395 | Actual Location: National Anthropology Museum, Mexico City, Mexico. | Collection: Fernando Sologuren | Registration: 6-395 | Provenance: San Martín, Oaxaca [?] | Measurements: 18 cm. | Chronology: Peche 500 - 600 AD | Click to view Chronology | Reference: Caso and Bernal 1952: 82, fig. 132. | Comments: Caso and Bernal (1952: 82) say: "An urn has 4 beads in the headdress instead of 2, as if to say that the name of the goddess is 4 J instead of 2 J. The goddess is represented in a sitting position, with the hands on her chest, in an attitude that is characteristic of the urns of period IIIA. In spite of this anomaly, we believe that it is the same goddess". In a photo from the E. Seler Collection, this piece is illustrated when it was part of the Sologuren Collection. The missing part is a jaguar's head. | Glyphs: Four numerals decorating the braids in the headdress and a jaguar's head in the center (missing) (4 B). | |
