A Mayan urn used for rituals in what is now Chiapas will be returned to Mexico after spending 50 years in the U.S. The urn was found in 1969 by professor Marvin Vann, who donated it to Albion College in 2003. In 2009, negotiations began for the urn to be repatriated to Mexico.
Representatives of Albion College and officials from the Mexican Consulate in Detroit signed the agreement for repatriation this week. The urn will be in Mexico in a matter of days, according to Elizabeth Palmer, head of the Albion College archives. It will be on display with its twin at the Museo de los Altos in San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas.
