Clay vessel

Small bowl with fragmented base ring, convex wall and slightly overhanging rim. The pottery has two fragmented handles on the shoulders. The body is decorated with sculptural applications and dimples. The object was smoothed and slurried on both sides. Its exterior is primed and painted. The vessel has several cracks. The ceramic has a thin, white-brownish base colour, which is painted red on the outside of the object. There is a horizontal red band on the lip. The shoulder is decorated with four opposing, oval sectors, which have dimple-shaped indentations and are painted red. A horizontal, twisted cord runs along the central parts of the body. The interior of the object remains undecorated except for the white-brownish primed rim. According to Lothrop 1926: Curridabat ware, type B. Cultural significance: typological relationship with the San Miguel Galleta group (1550-1000d.C.). (Künne 2004)
