Clay can
The area around Nochistlan in the Mixteca Alta appears to have been a centre for the production of polychrome pottery with the typical painting of the so-called "Codex" style. Seler acquired the vessel during his second trip to Mexico in 1895, during which he also stayed in Nochistlan. In her travelogue, his wife, Caecilie Seler-Sachs, mentions "splendidly painted fine clay vessels" that were found in graves around Nochistlan (Seler-Sachs, Caecilie, Auf alten Wegen in Mexiko und Guatemala. Reiseerinnerungen aus den Jahren 1895-97, Berlin 1925, 2nd edition: 31f.). Jugs of this type in the so-called "pilitas" style are attributed to the Natividad/Chila phase (Lind 1994: 81, 89).
