Small, round-bottomed bowl with a high, slightly concave neck. The object has a slightly overhanging rim. It has been smoothed, slurried, primed and polished on both sides. The outside is painted. The primer and paint are partially eroded. The pottery has a red-brown base colour, which was painted black-brown and red on the outside of the vessel. There is a surrounding frieze on the wall consisting of four panels. The opposing panels each show the same motifs. They depict a highly stylised lizard creature and a horizontal band with two loops. The inside of the object is primed red-brown. According to Lothrop 1926: Nicoya polychrome ware, alligator, type A. Cultural significance: the Galo and Carrillo Policromo groups (800-500d.C.) represent the first truly polychrome ceramics produced in the Gran Nicoya region. Their design (shape, colouring, individual motifs) is strongly reminiscent of the Ulua Policromo group (950-550d.C.). (Künne 2004)
