Large, bulbous jug with a domed base and flowing neck. Both sides of the vessel have been smoothed and polished. Its exterior has been primed twice, painted and highly polished. The primer and paint are partially eroded. The neck is almost completely fragmented. The outside of the object has been primed twice. It shows a red-brown covering colour on a white-yellowish ground. The body is completely painted red-brown. There is a circumferential, white-yellowish frieze on the neck. It was painted with black-brown and brown pictorial elements. The main motif consists of a circumferential, zigzag band. Some parts of the neck show a second band that is intertwined with the zigzag motif (guilloche element). The empty areas form triangles or rhombuses with a small circle in the centre. The motif band is bordered by several surrounding bands. Symbolic meaning: the guilloche motif is often interpreted (Ferrero 1975: 405) as two serpent's bodies intertwined. However, it can also symbolise textiles or wickerwork. According to Lothrop 1926: Nandaime ware. Cultural significance: the group's inventory of forms exclusively comprises jugs, which often have a spherical body. Their diagnostic decoration indicates a typological relationship with the Mora Policromo, variedad Guabal group (1200-800d.C.). (Künne 2004)
