Clay bowl

Bowl with stand ring. The object has been smoothed, sanded, primed and lightly polished on both sides. Its exterior is painted. The paint and primer are slightly eroded. The pottery has an orange base colour, which is painted red on the outside of the vessel. A red band runs along the rim. There are two further bands running around the wall. The lower band was decorated with short, vertical lines. The inside of the object remains undecorated. According to Lothrop 1926: red line ware, large jars. Cultural significance: the group is related to the Pavas complex (400d.C.-200a.C.), which occurs in the Valle Central (Central Highlands). (Künne 2004)
