Small, globular jug with a short neck and a bulging, thickened rim. The round-bottomed vessel has two vertical strap handles on the upper rim. It has been smoothed and slipped on both sides. Its exterior is primed, painted and highly polished. There are small cracks on the rim. The black painting is heavily eroded. The outside of the pottery was painted red-orange, black and white. The lower third of the vessel, the handles, the neck and the rim are painted red-orange. The upper two thirds of the body are painted white (positive technique). They were decorated with black triangles and lines that lie under the white covering colour and shine through it (negative technique). The white dots on some of the black lines are part of the positive painting. The inside of the neck was painted red-orange. According to Holmes 1888: lost colour groupe. Cultural significance: Negative colouring is considered by many scholars to be a South American technique. It appears in Costa Rica from the end of Period IV (500d.C.-1000a.C.) and reaches its peak in Period V (1000-500d.C.) (Snarskis 1983: 111). (Künne 2004)
