Conical neck fragment of a large jug. The object has a strongly flaring rim with a broad, flattened lip. The neck is decorated with an anthropomorphic face with applied and painted attributes. The pottery is smoothed and slurried on both sides. Its exterior was primed, painted and polished. The primer and paint are heavily eroded. The outside of the object was probably slurried twice. It shows a reddish-brown covering colour on a white-yellowish ground. The rim is coloured red-brown on both sides. The neck is surrounded by a white and yellowish mottled area that has been painted black-brown and red. It is divided into several pictorial fields. The central sector is bordered by an inverted U-shaped bulge. It shows an anthropomorphic face whose eyes and nose are superimposed. The person depicted is wearing an eye mask with a black and brown border. The neighbouring neck section shows two rectangles that are intertwined in a cross shape. In the central Mexican highlands, the glyph-like sign indicates the particularly valuable character of the objects decorated in this way (Pasztory 1983: 45). The interior of the object remained undecorated. According to Lothrop 1926: Nandaime ware. Cultural significance: the group's inventory of forms exclusively comprises jugs, which often have a spherical body. Their diagnostic decoration indicates a typological relationship with the Mora Policromo, variedad Guabal group (1200-800d.C.). (Künne 2004)
