Registration:  6-836 Provenance:  Zaachila, Oaxaca. Measurements:  42 cm. Chronology:  Peche 500 - 600 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Schlattman's photo circa 1901; Caso & Bernal 1952: 139-141, fig. 241; Mixtechi e Zapotechi (Mixtecs and Zapotecs), p. 140, fig. 85. Comments:  Caso and Bernal maintain that this vessel represents a "tlaloque" (a water-collecting helper for Tlaloc) and that the object held in the right hand is a stylized cloud. They also report that Linné believes that this same object is glyph L (1952: 139). There is an object identical to this one in the collection of the Smithsonian Institute, but more fragmented (see SMI 215065).
