Clay shard
Large rim sherd. The fragment has been smoothed, slurried and primed on both sides. Its exterior is painted in polychrome. Painting and primer are partially eroded. Objects IV Ca 48830a-e belong to different objects. The fragment has a white-yellowish base colour, which is painted red-orange and black-brown on the outside of the object. Irregular traces of a white-yellowish ground colour are visible on the inside of the pottery. According to Lothrop 1926: Nicoya polychrome ware. Cultural significance: the objects of the Papagayo Policromo group represent the beginning of polychrome painting on a white-yellowish ground in the Gran Nicoya region. The tradition lasted until the Policromo Tardío (1350-1520d.C.). Their decoration shows a strong Mesoamerican influence. This manifested itself in the replacement of lizard and bat themes with depictions of cats of prey and snakes. The pottery served as a supra-regional commodity. (Künne 2004)
