Small, bulbous jug with a domed base. The object has a short, straight neck with sculptural applications. Both sides of the vessel have been smoothed and slurried. Its exterior is primed and painted. The primer and paint are partially eroded. There is a break at the neck. 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 (nose) and applied (eyes) attributes. A broad frieze runs along the shoulder, bordered by horizontal bands. It shows diagonal bundles of lines that imitate textile or wickerwork. There is a circumferential band on both sides of the rim of the vessel. The inside of the neck was primed in brown. According to Lothrop 1926: Nicoya black line ware. Cultural significance: the type was documented in burials. Its mould inventory comprises only jugs. (Künne 2004)
