Large, spherical jug with a short, cantilevered neck. The object has been smoothed and polished on both sides. Its exterior is primed, painted and polished. The outside of the ceramic has a salmon-coloured primer, which was painted red-orange and black. There are two painted, three-dimensional facial representations on the body. They are reminiscent of a cat or snake. The middle and high parts of the object are decorated with comb-like motifs that suggest a negative painting technique. The inner rim has a salmon-coloured ground. There is a red band running around the lower edge of the neck. According to Lothrop 1926: plumed serpent, type H. Cultural significance: the type is known both from burials and from settlement contexts. It has been documented mainly in the valley of the Río Tempisque and occurs only rarely north of Bagaces (Costa Rica). The objects are characterised above all by their salmon-coloured ground. The variant combines motifs and forms that are later continued in the groups Luna Policromo, variedad Luna (1520-1200d.C.) and Luna Policromo, variedad El Menco (1520-1350d.C.). The motifs of the object belong to the mould inventory of the Luna Policromo, variedad El Menco group. (Künne 2004)
