Key:  MNA 6-6088 Actual Location:  National Anthropology Museum, Mexico City, Mexico (exhibited). Registration:  6-88 Provenance:  Inside tomb 104, Monte Albán, Oaxaca. Measurements:  42 cm. Color:  Grey clay with traces of red paint. Chronology:  Peche 500 - 600 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Caso 1938: 76-85, figs. 101, 102; Caso & Bernal 1952: 101, 104, figs. 168, 168bis, 184 bis; Romero 1958: 183, plate XXXVI; Redmond 1983: 171, fig. 59 ; Winter 1990: 127-128, fig. 54; Flannery & Marcus 1996: 210, 212-214, fig. 246. Comments:  This piece was found behind the carved gravestone that sealed the tomb. It was placed at the feet of the dead looking South. On both sides of the piece, there were four vessels, smaller and plain. In his work of 1938, Caso called this vessel Pitao Cozobi (God of Corn). Tomb 104 was excavated by Caso in 1937 and dated IIIA-IIIB. In my opinion, it represents a high-ranking figure, acting as a priest. As a note of interest, this piece was removed from the tomb by the then President of the Mexican Republic, Lázaro Cárdenas. Glyphs:  The mask and tied hair correspond to glyph Ñ. Two glyphs 109 in the headdress.

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.
