Small wall sherd. The fragment has been smoothed, slurried and primed on both sides. Its exterior is painted and polished. The primer and paint are barely eroded. Objects 48860a and b probably belong to different ceramics. The fragment has a white-yellowish ground colour, which was painted black-brown on the outside of the object. The body shows an ornamental band consisting of diagonal bundles of lines and small circles with a dot in the centre. The decoration appears to allude to textile or wickerwork. Cultural significance: the fragment probably belongs to the Mora Policromo, variedad Guabal (1200-800d.C.) or Birmania Policromo (1350-1000d.C.) groups. (Künne 2004)
