II, plate 123 d; Toscano 1944: 432; Covarrubias 1946: fig. 18; C Comments:  There is a head with the same properties as this piece (cf. Caso and Bernal, 1952: 337, fig. 500bis). There is also a complete piece at the Cleveland Museum (CMA 54.857). About the pieces, Caso and Bernal comment: "We do not know if we should include it with the figures of period II, because we have not found in Monte Albán, during our stratigraphic explorations, any objects of this style and the two that exist come from the old collections of the National Museum and the Museum of Oaxaca" (1952: 337). It was always said that this piece came from Cuilapan, but it seems to have been a mistake from León, as from the very beginning, it was established that its provenance was Zaachila. Glyphs:  Glyph 13 for water in the headdress and 13 Q on the chest. Bernal (1979: 103) interprets the glyphs as 13 water and 13 alligator's eye. Dating:

Comments:  This piece was found by Alfonso Caso in the period PMA IV (1934-1935). According to Caso and Bernal, the piece is an early expression of the "God with Head Piece of a Wide-Beaked Bird" (1952: 204).
