Bowl with slightly flaring rim and stand ring. The object has been smoothed, slurried, primed, painted and polished on both sides. The primer and paint are partially eroded. The restored vessel has several fractures and flaking. The ceramic has a red-brown base colour, which was painted red, black and brown. There is a red frieze running around the outside of the vessel wall. It is divided into rectangular fields in which horizontal S-shaped elements appear. A central red band runs below the frieze. The stand ring is painted black. On the inside of the object runs a black band around the edge, decorated with short vertical strokes. On the wall there is a surrounding frieze showing three zoomorphic figures that are largely identical. The red figures have a forked tongue and open their mouths wide. The crouching creature depicted appears to have a jaguar and snake-like quality. The base is decorated with two surrounding red bands. According to Lothrop 1926: Nicoya polychrome ware, jaguar motifs. Cultural significance: the pottery is known both from burials and from household contexts. It is related to the Mora Policromo group (1350-800d.C.). (Künne 2004)
