Bowl with slightly recessed rim and flattened base. The object has been smoothed, slurried, primed, painted and polished on both sides. The primer and paint are partially eroded. The restored object was assembled from several shards. The ceramic has a red-brown base colour, which is painted red and black. The object is decorated on both sides with a black band around the rim. A dotted line runs along the outer edge of the vessel wall. The central sections of the wall were decorated with a surrounding frieze featuring round-arched stepped elements. The motif band is bordered by several horizontal black lines. There is a circumferential red band at the base. Three vertical, circumferential lines appear on the inside of the vessel wall. According to Lothrop 1926: Nicoya polychrome ware. Cultural significance: the pottery is known both from burials and from household contexts. It is related to the Mora Policromo group (1350-800d.C.).
