Clay vessel

Ovaloid jug with a hollow base and retracting rim. The body is decorated with applied sculptural decorations depicting an anthropomorphic face. It is bordered by applied beads with stitch and notch decorations (bone motif). Both sides of the vessel have been smoothened and sanded. Its exterior has been primed and polished. There is a break on the base. The monochrome object has a red-brown base colour. The anthropomorphic face has two ears, which could also be used as a handle. Cultural significance: the shape of the object is modelled on the neckless jugs of the Papagayo group (1350-800d.C.). (Künne 2004)
