| The mixture of amuletic stone head pendants and figures in this group of twelve (TEH.F51.3, 4, 9, 10, 12-17, and 42) was assembled from finds made in the Mitla area by the late Chester Howard in the mid-20th century. Identified by Howard as Mixtec in origin, and dated c.1100-1500AD, most of the head pendants can be immediately hung on a chain or cord for contemporary wear. The couple on which the suspension hole has worn out can be easily adapted for wear. The two stone figurines were most likely used in ceremonies to the ancient gods, and are in overall good condition. A centimeter scale appears on the left side of each photo (1” = 2.54 cm) to estimate size. The item inventory number appears on each photo in brackets, followed by a brief description and grade value, the type of stone (believed to be mostly anhydrite) and condition, and then a comment about the suspension bale. A brief description of condition appears at the bottom of the text, and finally the price. Select or ask any question by referring first to the Trocadero Item Number on this page, and then to our Inventory Number shown on the given photograph. Each item purchased from this page comes with a small display card, a biographical write-up about Howard, a map of Mexico high-lighting the location of Mitla, and our certificate guaranteeing authenticity.
