IV Ca 44327 Mixteca-Puebla, 1350-1550 # Mexico, probably Mixtequilla, Veracruz # clay, painted. Urns like this one acquired from Julius Konietzko appeared on the international art market in the early 1960s. The band of the starry night sky on the upper rim refers to the human sacrifice. Vertical skull frames separate the depictions of black and red flames surrounding the pot from bundles with rings to which black eagle feathers and red paper strips are attached. These were used to decorate the hands and feet of those to be sacrificed. The knobs on the sides show jaguar heads. (V. König, 2018)
