Large wall sherd. The fragment has been smoothed and polished on both sides. Its exterior is primed, painted and polished. The primer and paint are partially eroded. The pottery has a brown base colour, which is painted black-brown on the outside. The fragment probably belongs to the shoulder section of a globular jug. It shows a horizontal frieze consisting of diagonally juxtaposed bundles of lines and black-brown dots. The motifs appear to imitate the structures of textiles or wickerwork. The upright surfaces of the body are decorated with three horizontal, black-brown bands. According to Lothrop 1926: Nicoya black line ware. Cultural significance: the type was documented in burials in the Gran Nicoya region. Its mould inventory comprises only jugs. (Künne 2004)
