Its exterior is painted. The paint and primer are partially eroded. There is a large break at the edge. The pottery has a white-yellowish base colour, which was painted black-brown and red-orange on the outside of the vessel. On the wall is a surrounding frieze depicting a reclining cat-like creature. A surrounding black line appears at the base. The interior of the object remains undecorated. After Lothrop (1926): Nicoya polychrome ware, silhouette jaguar, type B. Cultural significance: Bonilla et al. (1987) refer to this group only under the type Jicote Policromo, variedad felino (1350-1000d.C.). Their decorations have many similarities with the Pataky Policromo (1350-1000d.C.) and Granada Policromo (1350-1000d.C.) groups. (Künne 2004)
