S. V. R. Cammann's interesting analysis of the Chinese stone carving found by Gann in a Maya site in Quintana Roo has indeed thrown some explanatory light on this, and other pieces of the same general type. Zelia Nuttall (1910) mentioned a “soap-stone teapot“ from the island of Sacrificios, and says that “it gave rise to much speculation, especially as similar ones were found by respectable authorities at Tepaca (on the ancient high road to Puebla) and in the Huaxteca.“ Nuttall says further, “The well vouched for fact that the teapot was actually found on the island of Sacrificios can doubtless be explained by the employment of the island by the Spaniards, during centuries, as a lading place for merchandise from the Philippines and China, after it had been brought overland by mule-back from Acapulco to Vera Cruz, to be shipped from thence to Spain.“
