Key:  AMNH 30.6331 Actual Location:  American Museum of Natural History, New York, United States Collection:  Marshall H. Saville Registration:  30/6331 Provenance:  Mound 7, Xoxocotlán, Oaxaca Measurements:   Color:  Greyware with traces of red pigment. White stucco on the backside of the object. Chronology:  Xoo 600 - 800 AD  Click to view Chronology Reference:  Saville 1904: 56 Comments:  Seated figure placed upon a square tablet of clay, indicating that this object could have been the lid for a box. Given that the figure wears a huipil decorated with beads, is sitting on the knees, and also sports a braided headdress, we can infer that the sex of the person is female. The tube that supports the effigy is broken at the back and there is a thick application of stucco, thus it is possible that the artifact was once placed inside a niche. A large part of the braided headdress is missing. Glyphs:   Dating:
