Heavy, hourglass-shaped object with two opposing, round mouths and a retracting wall. The pottery has a bulbous, thickened rim with a flattened lip. The object was smoothed on both sides. Its exterior has engraved decorations. The monochrome ceramic is decorated with two circumferential friezes consisting of deep, geometric incisions. They show highly stylised bat motifs (?). The low frieze echoes the inverted forms of the high sequence. There are short, vertical incisions at both edges. According to Holmes (1888) and Osgood (1935): terracotta ware. According to MacCurdy (1911): armadillo ware. Social meaning: vessel stand or clay drum. Cultural significance: the elegant and thin-walled objects of the San Miguel Galleta group are considered the pinnacle of ceramic craftsmanship from the Gran Chiriquí region (Snarskis 1983: 131). Similar object forms already appear in the Bocana Inciso, variedad Toya group (300d.C.-500a.C.) (Baudez 1972: 28, Fig. 14; Stone 1977: 40, Fig. 45; Bonilla et al. 1983: 43, Fig. 8B). (Künne 2004)
