Clay plate
Thick-walled plate with a protome on the rim that served as a handle. The object was smoothed on both sides, slurried and primed. The monochrome ware has a red-brown base colour. The trapezoidal handle is reminiscent of a lizard's head. After Lothrop (1926): red ware. The same author depicts a similar object that served as a smoking spoon. Cultural significance: red-brown ware has been produced in the Gran Nicoya region since the appearance of zoned bicoloured pottery (around 500a.C.). (Künne 2004)
