Flat, fragmented plate with three conical legs. The object has been smoothed on both sides, slurried, primed, painted and lightly polished. The paint and primer are partially eroded. The restored plate has several cracks. There are large burn marks on its underside. The pottery has a white-yellowish base colour, which was painted red, orange, black-brown and brown. A red band runs along the rim of the vessel. Several circumferential lines appear on the upper side of the object. The support surface is decorated with a bimorph crab-like creature raising its two claws. The figure has an anthropomorphic face and wears a conical headdress. On the underside of the plate are several upright, encircling lines and bands. The three legs depict a face and have a small, round opening. According to Lothrop 1926: Nicoya polychrome ware, crab motif. 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)
