Fragmentary, round-bottomed vessel with a retracting wall and a short, projecting neck. The object has been smoothed on both sides, slurried, primed and lightly polished. Its exterior is painted in polychrome. The primer and paint are partially eroded. The restored pottery was assembled from several shards and has a number of broken and missing pieces. The object has a red-brown base colour, which is painted black, brown and red on the outside of the vessel. The pottery is decorated on both sides with a red band around the rim. On the wall there is a central, circumferential frieze, which is divided into trapezoidal pictorial fields. They alternate between vertical bundles of lines and an "hourglass-like" shape. The bundles of lines are bordered by vertical red stripes. A broad red band runs along the base. According to Lothrop 1926: Nicoya 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 representational elements (seated anthropomorphic figures with headdresses, mat motif, Kan cross), which are also known from the Maya ceramics (Copador group) of the Clásico Tardío (900-600d.C.). The variant is known both from burials and from settlement contexts. Lange (1971) links the Mora pottery with the Bramadero Policromo type (1520-1200d.C.), which occurs in the Policromo Tardío (1520-1350d.C.). (Künne 2004)
