Small, bulbous jug with a domed base and a short, straight neck. It has a slightly protruding rim and sculptural applications. Both sides of the object have been smoothened and sanded. Its exterior is primed and painted. The primer and paint are partially eroded. There is a crack on the rim. The pottery has a brown base colour, which is painted black-brown on the outside of the vessel. An anthropomorphic face appears on the neck, which appears to be wearing a mask. The decoration has both painted (mouth) and applied (eyes, nose, ears) attributes. A frieze bordered by horizontal bands runs along the shoulder. It shows diagonal bundles of lines that imitate textile or wickerwork. There is a band running around the inner edge on a brown ground. According to Lothrop 1926: Nicoya black line ware. Cultural significance: the type was documented in burials. Its mould inventory comprises only jugs. (Künne 2004)
