Fragmented bowl with a curved base and a hollow stand. The object has a protruding wall and a deep rim. There are several small, round openings in the base. The vessel was smoothed on both sides, slurried, primed, painted and lightly polished. The primer and paint are partially eroded. There are fractures and missing parts on the wall. The ceramic has a white-yellowish base colour, which is painted red, orange, brown and black-brown. A black-brown band runs along the rounded lip. The outside of the vessel wall is decorated with a red band below the rim, from which vertical red stripes and black-brown lines hang down. A circumferential black-brown line appears at the rim. The base and stand are decorated with circumferential red bands. The inside of the object is decorated with an upright, all-round frieze consisting of interlocking stepped elements. In the base of the bowl is a two-headed, avimorphic creature. Its ribbon-shaped body has two wing elements. The opposing heads appear to be adorned with feathers. According to Lothrop 1926: highland polychrome ware, plumed serpent, type B. Cultural significance: this type was produced exclusively in the south of the Gran Nicoya region. It stands out due to the colour range of its decoration, a fine line and the depiction of moving figures. The pottery is mainly known from burials. (Künne 2004)
