Small, zoomorphic vascular flute depicting an armadillo (probably: cabassous centralis). The instrument has an inflated body and two massive feet. The object has eight round openings, four of which served as finger holes. The mouthpiece is fragmented. The ceramic was smoothed, slurried, primed, incised, painted and polished. The bichrome pottery has a red-brown base colour. The armadillo's carapace was decorated with incised and dotted decoration filled with white paint. Social significance: similar ceramics have been interpreted as ritual objects (Bransford 1881; Bonilla et al. 1987), as pendants or as vessel pipes (Lehmann 1913). According to Lehmann 1913: El Viejo style. Lothrop (1926) discusses the group under the orange-brown ware. Cultural significance: the group is only known from the south of the Gran Nicoya region. Their artefacts were mainly documented in burials. (Künne 2004)
