Small, spherical jug with a short, slightly protruding neck. The object has been smoothed and polished on both sides. Its exterior is primed, painted and lightly polished. The primer and paint are partially eroded. There is a small break on the rim. The pottery has a brown base colour, which was painted black-brown and red on the outside of the vessel. There is a frieze on the shoulder that shows diagonal bundles of lines. They appear to imitate textile or wickerwork. There are also several black and brown bands running around the body. They are complemented by a central red band. The neck of the vessel was primed on both sides and painted black-brown. The inside of the body was left undecorated. According to Lothrop 1926: Nicoya black line ware. Cultural significance: the type was documented in burials. Its mould inventory comprises only jugs. (Künne 2004)
