Small, seated, anthropomorphic figure holding a small child in her arms. The hollow, female sculpture has one arm on her hip and both legs outstretched. Her body and face are painted. The figure is wearing earrings and a headdress. She has an oversized, flattened head. There is a round opening at the back. Two small, opposing openings appear at the neck, which were probably used for suspension. The object has been smoothed, sanded, primed, painted and polished. The primer and paint are heavily eroded. The sculpture has a white-brownish base colour, which was painted black-brown and red. On the legs, shoulders and head are fields with geometric motifs that imitate textile or wickerwork. The flattened shape of the head indicates a skull deformation. According to Lothrop 1926: highland polychrome ware. Cultural significance: the pottery of the Mora group was produced in north-west Costa Rica and traded to the Central Highlands and the Atlantic region of the country. It uses design elements (seated anthropomorphic figures with headdresses, mat motif, Kan cross) that are also known from the Maya ceramics (Copador group) of the Clásico Tardío (900-600d.C.). The anthropomorphic figures of the Guabal variant show greater representational schematism compared to the anthropomorphic sculptures of the zoned bicoloured pottery (Rosales Esgrafiado) and the Policromo Antiguo (Galo Policromo group).
