Three-footed, round-bottomed jug with a deep rim. The object has a high, retracting wall with a flowing neck and overhanging rim. Sculptural appliqués and incised decorations appear on the body. The three hollow, conical feet were designed as female breasts. The object has been smoothed, slurried and primed on both sides. Its exterior has been highly polished. The primer is partially eroded. The ceramic has a red-brown base colour. A circumferential, band-shaped indentation appears below the rim. The neck is decorated with a high, circumferential frieze that shows right-angled meanders. On the body, there are two deep horizontal bands that face each other. They show wavy bands that are interwoven (guilloche motif). The depictions appear to allude to textiles or wickerwork. They are separated from each other by two opposing appliqués symbolising inverted faces. According to Lothrop 1926: chocolate ware. Cultural significance: the guilloche motif is considered a diagnostic indicator for the late phase of the Policromo Medio (1350-800d.C.). It occurs above all in the groups Gillén Negro sobre Café Claro (1350-1000d.C.), Papagayo Policromo (1350-800d.C.), Jicote Policromo (1350-1000d.C.) and Mora Policromo, variedad Guabal (1200-800d.C.).
