Small, seated, anthropomorphic figure spreading her legs. There are two opposing round openings on the neck of the female sculpture, which probably served as a suspension. The object was smoothed, sanded, primed, painted and polished. The polishing and painting have eroded in places. The feet are fragmented. The sculpture has a red-brown base colour, which is painted red and black-brown. The figure's breasts have been particularly emphasised. The sculpture places both hands on the hips. The cheeks, breasts and upper arms have been painted with geometric motifs. The figure wears a pubic bandage and a short, round haircut. Her back remains undecorated. Symbolic meaning: Stevenson-Day (1997) interprets the female sculptures of the Galo Policromo group as shamans. Cultural significance: the anthropomorphic figures of the zoned two-coloured ceramics (Rosales Esgrafiado) and the Policromo Antiguo (Galo Policromo group) show great representational realism compared to the sculptures of later ceramic groups (Mora Policromo, variedad Guabal). The Galo and Carrillo Policromo groups (800-500d.C.) represent the first truly polychrome ceramics produced in the Gran Nicoya region. Their design (shape, colouring, individual motifs) is strongly reminiscent of the Ulua Policromo group (950-550d.C.). (Künne 2004)
