Clay vessel

Three-legged, spherical jug with a short, slightly protruding neck. The three short, conical legs each have a narrow, vertical opening and rattle balls. The object has been smoothed, sanded and primed on both sides. The outside of the monochrome ceramic and the inside of the neck of the vessel have a red-brown base colour. According to Haberland 1955: Boruca red brown. Cultural significance: the Ceiba Rojo Café type mainly comprises utility ceramics. It has been documented both in household contexts and in burials.
