Notes or Gallery Text

Al respecto esta urna Caso y Bernal (1952: 285) dicen: “De la época IIIA, no tenemos en Monta Albán ninguna urna [de este tipo], pero en Atzompa, en el pozo 2R No. 1, se encontró una preciosa figurilla de esta diosa en compañia de vasos grabados que corresponden indudablemente al IIIA.”
