Small, standing figure carrying a large clay jug on her back. There are two small openings on the calves of the hollow, female sculpture. The object has been smoothed, slurried, primed and painted. The primer and paint are partially eroded. The jug and one foot have small flaking. The ceramic has a white-yellowish base colour, which was painted red and black. The figure is leaning its upper body slightly forwards. She is gripping a carrying strap with both hands, which is wrapped around the jug she is carrying. The figure has a red mouth mask. Arms, body and legs are decorated with black and red stripes. According to Holmes 1888: alligator ware. According to Lehmann: Chiriquí style. Cultural significance: Stone (1958: 48) reports that objects of this type were associated with iron objects in a burial. She therefore assumes that these ceramics were still being produced in the Diquís region (Pacífico Sur) after the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors. (Künne 2004)
