Clay vessel

Small, gourd-shaped vessel with a short neck. The object has been smoothed and slurried on both sides. Its exterior has been primed. The base colour is almost completely eroded. There are fractures on the neck. The pottery has a red-brown ground colour. Lothrop (1926) depicts a similar object under his orange-brown ware. Cultural significance: red-brown ware has been produced in the Gran Nicoya region since the appearance of zoned bicoloured pottery (around 500a.C.). (Künne 2004)
