Three-legged, round-bottomed bowl with overhanging rim and flattened lip. The shape of the legs is reminiscent of an avimorphic creature. Each leg has a narrow, vertical opening. The object has been smoothed, sanded, primed and painted on both sides. The outside is polished. The primer and paint are partially eroded. There is a restored break on one foot. The outside of the pottery has a white-yellowish base colour, which is painted red, orange and black-brown. There are several horizontal bands and lines along the lower edge of the wall. A circumferential band appears on the broad, flattened lip, the decoration of which is reminiscent of the fur pattern of a feline predator. The base was painted with broad red bands. The shape and decoration of the feet are reminiscent of a bird. The inside of the vessel is primed in red. There is a black and brown band around the rim. According to Lothrop 1926: highland polychrome ware. Cultural significance: the type was produced exclusively in the south of the Gran Nicoya region and traded to the Central Highlands and the Atlantic region of Costa Rica. The pottery is known both from burials and from settlement contexts. It was frequently associated with the Altiplano Policromo group (1350-800d.C.). The feet of the inventoried object represent an avimorphic creature, which was also used as decoration in the Altiplano Policromo group (1350-800d.C.). (Künne 2004)
