Ovaloid, neckless jug with a hollow base and an upright, anthropomorphic head protome. The object has been smoothed and slurried on both sides. Its exterior is primed, painted and highly polished. The ceramic has a white-yellowish base colour, which is painted red, orange, brown and black. The rim is decorated with a circumferential red band. Below this is a high, circumferential frieze with white and yellow stepped elements in coloured triangles. The body is decorated by a central frieze consisting of four pictorial fields. The two opposing, central sectors depict a two-headed, zoomorphic creature. Two further panels have geometric decorations. They show chessboard-like structures and motifs reminiscent of wickerwork. The base and the pedestal are decorated with surrounding red bands. The inside of the object remains undecorated. According to Lothrop 1926: highland polychrome ware, plumed serpent, type B. According to Lehmann 1913: "Chorotega style". Cultural significance: this type was produced exclusively in the south of the Gran Nicoya region. It stands out due to the colour range of its decoration, a fine line and the depiction of moving figures. The pottery is mainly known from burials. (Künne 2004)
