Chronology:  Peche 500 - 600 AD  Click to view Chronology
Reference:  Photograph en the archive of Marshall H. Saville, American Museum of Natural History, box 27.
Comments:  Drawing based on a black and white photograph. An element is missing the center of the headdress, where it was adhered to the braid. Possibly this was a glyph C or perhaps a coefficient that accompanied one of the glyphs. A jaguar rests on top of the headdress, and this is a rare, but for a similar image see MFR 1473.

Comments:  The figure holds a bag of incense in one hand and the other hand is stretched out. This hand was mutilated by a tourist a few years back. In 1938, Caso identified this piece as Pitao Cozobi or God of Corn, but later, together with Bernal, they decide to classify it, in their work of 1952, as the "God with Cocijo Head in Headdress". The headdress mask belongs to the Xicani and is flanked by two jaguar heads.
