Three-legged bowl with a curved base and slightly concave wall. The object has a hollow, conical leg. It is complemented by two hollow, arched legs that simultaneously form the bent arms of a monkey-like creature. All legs have a narrow, vertical opening and a rattle ball. At the base is a massive, zoomorphic head protome that appears to rest on the two arched legs. The vessel was smoothed on both sides, slurried, primed, painted and lightly polished. The primer and paint are partially eroded. The pottery has several fractures and flaking. The object has a red-orange base colour, which was painted white-yellow. The outside of the bowl wall is decorated with three trapezoidal pictorial fields depicting geometric motifs. On the inside, there is a frieze around the lower edge, which is made up of vertical and horizontal linear fields. The legs are decorated with horizontal lines running all the way round. The head protome has deep punctures and stamped eyes. According to Lothrop 1926: yellow line ware. Cultural significance: only a few polychrome ceramics appear in the ceramic system of the Central Highlands of Costa Rica. Their position is largely replaced by groups with monochrome or bicolour decoration. (Künne 2004)
