Plate 13. 
A letter regarding this pot (Catalog No. 8X273) dated 
March 24, 1971, from Dr. Charles C. DiPeso, Director 
of the Amerind Foundation, Inc. and a leading 
authority on the Casas Grandes settlement in Chihuahu 
Mexico, reads in part as follows: ‘‘The definition of 
brown and black and the obvious vitrification of the 
black as reflected in the photograph, suggests that this 
is a very rare hooded effigy of Huerigos Polychrome. 
Most of these forms appear in Ramos Polychrome 
Standard Variant, and one would have to almost 
examine the object firsthand to determine the difference 
... produced in the Casas Grandes Valley sometime 
between A.D, 1050 and 1340.”
