Small, bulbous jug with a domed base. The object has a short, slightly protruding neck. Both sides have been smoothed and polished. Its exterior is primed, painted and polished. The primer and paint are partially eroded. The pottery has a white-reddish base colour, which was painted black-brown and red on the outside of the vessel. On the wall there is an upright, circumferential frieze consisting of diagonal bundles of lines and triangles. The motifs appear to imitate textile or wickerwork. Below the frieze is a central, circumferential band applied with red paint. The interior of the object remains undecorated apart from a red painting on the neck. According to Lothrop 1926: highland polychrome ware. Cultural significance: the pottery of the Mora group was produced in the north-west of 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)
