Three-legged, round-bottomed bowl with a deep rim and slightly concave wall. The three hollow, conical legs have a narrow, vertical opening. The object was smoothed on both sides, slurried, primed, painted and polished. The restored ceramic has several fractures. The pottery has a red-orange base colour, which was painted white-yellow. There are three rectangular pictorial fields on the outside of the vessel wall, which show a geometric motif. According to Hartman (1901), it depicts a highly stylised, zoomorphic head with two opposing mouths. The legs are designed as half-open bird beaks, which are decorated with a broad, vertical line. On the inside of the bowl wall there is a circumferential band of motifs on the lower edge, consisting of vertical bundles of lines and horizontal wavy lines. The frieze is bordered by an upright circumferential band. According to Lothrop 1926: yellow line ware. Cultural significance: only a few polychrome ceramics appear in the ceramic system of the Central Highlands of Costa Rica. Their position is largely replaced by groups with monochrome or bicolour decoration. The central motif of the object also appears in an abbreviated form in the Pitahaya Band Blanca group (1550-1000d.C.). (Künne 2004)
