Key:  MNA 6-78 Actual Location:  National Anthropology Museum, Mexico City, Mexico (exhibited). Registration:  6-78; INAH 10-3199 Provenance:  Cistern IV, Monte Albán, Oaxaca. Measurements:  14.4 x 12 cm. Color:  Orange and grey. Chronology:  MA IIIA (Caso and Bernal 1952: 297); Pitao 350 - 500 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Caso and Bernal 1952: 174, fig. 297; Paddock 1966: 132, fig. 106; Funerary furniture (Mobilier funéraire) fig. 5; The richness of Ancient Mexico (Les richesses de l'Ancien Mexique), 1994: 6, fig. 4. Comments:  Caso and Bernal (1952: 174) designate this piece as MA-IIIA because the rim of the vase is wide and turned outwards like in the "flower vases" that were characteristic of the time. Because the efigie is wearing a "huipil" it probably represents a female impersonator. Glyphs:  Human figure with an owl's head or glyph F and, in the chest, numeral 1 (1 F).

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.
