Key:  MNC 10-3240 Actual Location:  National Museum of Cultures, Mexico City, Mexico (warehouse). Collection:  Fernando Sologuren #508 Registration:  10-3240 (number written on the piece). Provenance:  Mound 5, tomb A (on the roof of the structure), Xoxocotlán, Oaxaca (Sologuren's excavation 1886). Measurements:  tapa: 28 cm.; base: 19 cm. (47 cm. total) Color:  Grey clay; the two ears of corn in the headdress are painted in red. Chronology:  Xoo 600 - 800 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Seler's watercolor, 1888; Peñafiel 1893: 53; C.B. Waite, circa 1901, AGN, Mexico; Bauer's photo circa 1900, in König and Kröfges 2001: 131; Seler [1904]1960: 338, fig. 61 (black and white copy of the watercolor); Martínez Gracida 1910: plate 82 Comments:  According to Martínez Gracida, four of these pieces were found as "merlons" on the tomb's roof. The drawing presented is based on a photo published by Peñafiel (1893: 53). In their work "Urns of Oaxaca", Caso and Bernal (1952: 17, fig. 1) presented the lid with the wrong box. The matching box must be the piece on page 45, fig. 59, of the same work (MNA 6-791). It is worth mentioning that there is a box exhibited at the National Anthropology Museum, under catalog number 6-6956 (INAH 10-522684), which is identical to the box of a piece at the National Museum of Cultures and which must be part of this series of objects. Glyphs:  Glyph C in the headdress flanked by two ears of corn.

Measurements:  aprox. 60 cm. Color:  Grey clay. Chronology:  Xoo 600 - 800 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Caso 1932a: 19-20, fig. 32; Caso, 1932b: 466-467; Caso 1969: 43; Caso & Bernal 1952: 44, figs. a, b, c; Bernal 1979: 144, fig. 52. Comments:  This piece was found with another equal piece flanking a central piece. Caso and Bernal (1952: 46) identified them as Cocijos ("clearly identified as Gods of Corn"). Tomb 7 was excavated by Caso during the first PMA I period (1931-1932). The three pieces were found broken and, according to Caso, the position of the fragments demonstrated that the break had been intentional and that, after doing this, the pieces had been buried (Caso 1932a: 20).

Key:  MCO 0018 Actual Location:  Museum of Cultures of Oaxaca, City of Oaxaca, Mexico (exhibited). Collection:  cm.ROA-0018 / INAH 10-104344 Provenance:  Tomb of Los Reyes, Etla, Oaxaca (tomb registered in 1944). Measurements:  66 cm. Color:  Grey clay. Chronology:  Late MA IIIB-IV (Winter 1994: 86); Xoo 600 - 800 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Caso and Bernal 1952: 111, fig. 182; Winter 1994b: 86, plate 29. Comments:  Caso and Bernal use this figure to define category "God of the Bow in Headdress". They say: "Although it does not have a mask, it does have other properties, such as the big bow in the headdress, decorated with a rosette, the cape embroidered with embossed spheres and the flounce; but its ear pieces are decorated with figure M, with stellar eyes. The figure carries a bag in one hand and is standing, a position that is not characteristic of the figures representing this god we had described" (1952: 111). This studded cape worn by this figure is similar to one worn by a figure on a carved stone from Zautla, Etla.
