Small rim sherd. The fragment has been smoothed, slurried and primed on both sides. Its exterior is painted. The paint and primer are partially eroded. The fragment has a white-yellowish base colour, which is painted red and black-brown on the outside of the object. According to Lothrop 1926: Nicoya polychrome ware. Cultural significance: the objects of the Papagayo Policromo group represent the beginning of polychrome painting on a white-yellow base colour in the Gran Nicoya region. The tradition lasted until the Policromo Tardío (1350-1520d.C.). Their decoration shows a strong Mesoamerican influence. This manifested itself in the replacement of lizard and bat themes with depictions of cats of prey and snakes. The pottery served as a supra-regional commodity. (Künne 2004)
