The vessel has an unusual shape, which can be interpreted as a double tekomate. It consists of a bulbous body and a convex neck. There are two opposing round openings at the edge of the narrowed mouth, which were used for suspension. The body and neck have painted decorations, which are zoned by incisions. The object has been smoothed and sanded on both sides. Its exterior was primed, painted and highly polished. The painting is partially eroded. The ceramic has a yellow-brown base colour, which is painted red and black. The rim is decorated with a red band with incised lines running around it. There are two circumferential friezes on the neck and body. They consist of rectangular panels separated by red vertical bands. The panels have almost identical decoration. The central motif shows an isosceles red cross with an internal cross-shaped incision. The depiction is surrounded by a black band. The trapezoidal, yellow-brown empty fields have an incised hatching. All the coloured areas are separated from each other by incised lines. Cultural significance: Tecomates are often associated with the maize complex. Ichón (1970) documented similar double tecomates in the Valle del Río Tonosí, which he associated with the El Indio phase. (Künne 2004)
