Small, zoomorphic vascular flute with an inflated resonating body and two feet. The instrument has eight small openings and a short, conical mouthpiece. Six openings served as finger holes. The object was smoothed, sanded, primed, painted and lightly polished. The primer on the base is heavily eroded. The ceramic has a white-brownish base colour, which was painted red, brown and black-brown. The shape of the object is reminiscent of an avimorphic creature. On its back is an image field with black and brown geometric motifs. They seem to reflect the structures of textile or wickerwork. The picture field is bordered by broad red lines. The mouthpiece is painted red. According to Lothrop 1926: highland polychrome ware. Cultural significance: the pottery of the Mora group was produced in north-west Costa Rica and traded to the Central Highlands and the Atlantic region of the country. It uses design elements (seated anthropomorphic figures with headdresses, mat motif, Kan cross) that are also known from the Maya ceramics (Copador group) of the Clásico Tardío (900-600d.C.). The variant is related to the Gillén Negro sobre café claro (1350-1000d.C.) and Palmira Policromo (1350-1000d.C.) groups. (Künne 2004)
