Clay bowl
Small, round plate with a domed base. The ceramic was smoothed, slurried, primed and painted on both sides. The primer and paint are partially eroded. The restored object has several breaks and flaws. The ceramic has a white-yellowish undercoat that is painted black-brown, brown and red-orange. The rim is decorated on both sides with a black-brown band. The inside of the object shows a standing, anthropo-zoomorphic figure. It appears from a frontal perspective and raises its arms. Its oversized head is divided by two vertical lines into a red-orange and a brown half. The figure has a wide, half-open mouth with pointed teeth. The red-orange body has been reduced to shoulders, arms and legs. Five long claws are visible on the hands and feet. According to Lothrop 1926: highland polychrome ware. 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)
