Notes or Gallery Text

El elemento central del tocado está roto, pero probablemente es la misma forma que se presenta en la pieza MCO 1991-t/14 (cf. Sellen 2002: 142, fig. 4.107), es decir el glifo milpa.

Glyphic Inscription
Dos glifos de grano de maíz en el tocado. El glifo milpa en el tocado y en el pectoral.
