Tripartite figurine vessel in the shape of a cat of prey carrying a bowl on its back. It has a round mouth and a protruding rim. Two vertical ribbon handles connect the bowl to the head and the back of the sculptured creature. One of the two handles on the rim also forms the felid's tail. There are five small, round openings on the hollow figure. The object has been smoothed, sanded, primed and polished on both sides. Its exterior is painted in polychrome. The primer and paint are partially eroded. The outside of the ceramic was primed twice. It has a white-yellowish covering colour on a reddish background. The object was painted red, orange and black-brown. A band consisting of short, vertical cuts runs along the edge of the bowl. The bowl wall has several deep, sculptural applications. Bands, lines and dots appear on the body of the zoomorphic figure, probably imitating the fur pattern of a cat of prey. The inside of the bowl is coloured red. According to Lothrop 1926: highland polychrome ware. Cultural significance: the type was produced exclusively in the south of the Gran Nicoya region and traded to the Central Highlands and the Atlantic region of Costa Rica. The pottery is known both from burials and from settlement contexts. It was often associated with the Altiplano Policromo group (1350-800d.C.). (Künne 2004)
