Small, round plate with a domed base. The ceramic was smoothed, slurried and primed on both sides. The inside is polychrome painted and polished. The primer and paint are partially eroded. The restored object has two large flaws. The ceramic has a salmon-coloured undercoat, which is painted black-brown and red. The rim is decorated on both sides with a black-brown band. On the inside of the object there is an upright, circumferential, black-brown line. A bimorph figure decorating the base is attached to it. The figure has a serpentine, coiled body with two legs. The figure has a small, round head with an elongated, open mouth. The visible parts of the body are divided into black-brown segments alternating with sectors decorated in red. According to Lothrop 1926: highland polychrome ware, two headed monster motifs. Cultural significance: the type is characterised above all by its salmon-coloured ground. It has been documented mainly in the valley of the Río Tempisque and occurs only rarely north of Bageces (Costa Rica). The variant is known from burials. Motifs similar to those on the inventoried object also appear in the Birmania Policromo group (1350-1000d.C.). (Künne 2004)
