Small, deep bowl with three solid, conical feet. The round-bottomed object was smoothed, slurried, primed and painted on both sides. The primer and paint are slightly eroded. The ceramic has a red base colour, which was painted black. There is a black band around the rim of the vessel. Vertical bundles of lines hang down from it, decorating the inner and outer sides of the wall. After Lothrop 1926: Nicoya black line ware. According to Lehmann 1913: El Viejo style. Cultural significance: the type also occurs in the Cordillera de Guanacaste and in the Atlántico Norte region. It has been documented both in burials and in household contexts. The object belongs to a collection of decontextualised objects that Lehmann found in a burial ground near El Viejo in March 1908. There are said to be 480 objects from Huaca A alone. In addition to ceramics, they also include axes, rubbing stones, shells and "greenstones". The latter were associated with inhumations. (Künne 2004)
