Color:  Grey clay Chronology:  Peche 500 - 600 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Caso 1938: 73 and 76, fig. 92; Caso and Bernal 1952: 51, fig. 72. Comments:  The figure holds a bag of incense in one hand and the other hand is stretched out. This hand was mutilated by a tourist a few years back.

Key:  MCO 2702 Actual Location:  Museum of Cultures of Oaxaca, City of Oaxaca, Mexico (exhibited). Registration:  2702 Provenance:  In front of the entrance to tomb 7, Monte Albán, Oaxaca.

Caso excavated tomb 7 in the first PMA I period (1931-1932). Glyphs:  Glyph C in the headdress flanked by two ears of corn.
