Three-legged bowl with a slightly concave wall. The legs have narrow, vertical openings and rattle balls. The object was smoothed on both sides, slurried, primed, painted and highly polished. The ceramic has a white-yellowish base colour, which is painted red, orange, brown and black. There is a continuous line of lines around the inner edge. The wall is decorated with a surrounding frieze, which is divided into four pictorial fields. The central motif shows an avimorphic creature. It is repeated as a painting on the ground and as a vascular leg. On the outer wall there is a central, surrounding frieze consisting of triangles. Below this, several deep, encircling lines appear. According to Lothrop 1926: highland polychrome ware, plumed serpent, type B. Cultural significance: this type was produced exclusively in the south of the Gran Nicoya region. It stands out due to the colour range of its decoration, a fine line and the depiction of moving figures. The pottery is mainly known from burials. (Künne 2004)
