Spherical jug with fragmented rim. The object has been smoothed and polished on both sides. Its exterior is primed, painted and polished. The primer and paint are partially eroded. There are several glued fractures on the body. The pottery has a red-orange base colour, which is painted black and white on the outside of the vessel. There are two broad, circumferential black bands on the shoulder. They are decorated with a white wavy line. Four broad, black lines and four inverted T-elements hang down from the lower band. All the black decorations are bordered by thin white lines. After Lothrop 1926: Nicoya black line ware, alligator motif. According to Lehmann 1913: El Viejo style. Cultural significance: although the Tola Tricromo group is considered a diagnostic indicator of the Policromo Antiguo (800-500d.C.), Bonilla et al. (1987) date it to the period of zoned bicoloured pottery. The Costa Rican variant López has been documented above all in the Bahía de Culebra and in the valley of the Río Tempisque. It appears to have originated from the Rosales Esgrafiado en zonas group (500d.C.-500a.C.). The Nicaraguan variant Tola has many similarities with the Chávez Blanco sobre Rojo group (800-500d.C.).
