Large, fragmented bowl with a flattened base and retracting wall. The object has been smoothed, sanded and primed on both sides. Its exterior is painted in polychrome. The primer and paint are partially eroded. The restored object has several fractures and flaws. The pottery has a white-yellowish base colour, which was painted red-orange and black-brown on the outside of the vessel. On the wall there is a high, circumferential frieze depicting two opposing, feline-like creatures. The figures are lying on their stomachs and opening their mouths. They have an elongated, dotted body. The eyes, mouth and legs are emphasised by red-orange stripes. The frieze is bordered by black-brown bands. Two vertical red stripes, which intersect at the bottom, start at the lowest band. Irregular traces of a white-yellowish primer are visible on the inside of the ceramic. A black-brown band runs along the rim. According to Lothrop 1926: Nicoya polychrome ware, silhouette jaguar, type B. Cultural significance: Bonilla et al. (1987) refer to this group only under the type Jicote Policromo, variedad felino (1350-1000d.C.). Their decorations have many similarities with the Pataky Policromo (1350-1000d.C.) and Granada Policromo (1350-1000d.C.) groups. (Künne 2004)
