Ovaloid jug with slightly recessed wall and stand ring. The object has been smoothed, sanded and primed on both sides. Its exterior is painted and polished. The paint and primer are partially eroded. There are several fractures on the rim and base. The pottery is decorated with a red band around the rim. Its exterior has a salmon-coloured base, which was painted red and black. There are two circumferential friezes on the wall. They show stylised, figurative motifs (lizards?, adorants?) alternating with rectangular areas of colour. Irregular traces of salmon-coloured primer appear on the inside. According to Lothrop 1926: Nicoya polychrome ware. Cultural significance: typological relationship with Carrillo Policromo, variedad lagarto. The Galo and Carrillo Policromo groups (800-500d.C.) represent the first truly polychrome ceramics produced in the Gran Nicoya region. Their design (shape, colouring, individual motifs) is strongly reminiscent of the Ulua Policromo group (950-550d.C.). (Künne 2004)
