Key:  MNA 6-68 Actual Location:  National Anthropology Museum, Mexico City, Mexico. Registration:  6-68 Provenance:  Cerro de la Campana (Hill of the Bell), Suchiquiltongo, Oaxaca. Measurements:  43.2 x 53.5 x 37.7 cm. Color:  Grey clay. Chronology:  Peche 500 - 600 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  L. Gamio 1946: 2 (technical report AT/DMP/INAH). Caso and Bernal 1952: 62-63, fig. 98; Winter 1990: 129, fig. 55. Comments:  Lorenzo Gamio found this piece in the antechamber of a tomb in the Hill of the Bell. It was placed in front of the entrance, with its back to it. Gamio said (1946: 2): "[The object] was mutilated. The right arm and the left leg are missing. It was deposited in the container used as incense burner. The destruction of this object was not caused by the action of time because, if the arm had broken, there would be fragments. But we looked for them unsuccessfully. Besides, the leg inside the container indicates it was an intentional move". The piece has been restored. Glyphs:  Caso and Bernal designate the glyph and numeral one hanging from the neck as "one tiger". Urcid (1992: 187) designates the glyph as "iota" and speculates that it could be a variation of glyph D.
