Anthropomorphic Urn, Zapotec Culture. Represention of the God of Corn, Pitao Cozobi.
The majority of Zapotec urns are associated with mortuary contexts, and in particular tombs, where they were placed in different positions relative to the structure: on the roof, in front of the entrance and in niches above the entrance [Figure 1] (Saville 1904: 51), or within the tomb itself, in the antechamber, in wall niches [Figure 2] and on the floor. However, some urns have been found as offerings related to buildings, placed under stucco floors or in cache boxes near salient features of the structure.
