Round-bottomed, heavily fragmented bowl with a convex wall and steep rim. The object has been smoothed, slurried and primed on both sides. Its exterior is painted in polychrome and lightly polished. The paint and primer are partially eroded. There is a large missing part on the body. The pottery has a salmon-coloured undercoat, which was painted red and black on the outside of the vessel. A circumferential frieze consisting of vertical bundles of red lines appears on the rim. Below this is a vertical row of black motifs made up of stepped elements. The wall is decorated with a surrounding frieze consisting of six picture panels. They show vertical red lines alternating with an avimorphic depiction. The frieze is bordered by two circumferential red lines. Irregular traces of a salmon-coloured primer are visible on the inside of the ceramic. According to Lothrop 1926: Nicoya polychrome ware, red line decoration. Although the object does not have a white-yellowish ground colour, Bonilla et al. (1987) assign it to the Vallejo Policromo group. Cultural significance: the variant has a very wide range of possible decorations. Some motifs show clear parallels to the post-classical pictorial language of the central Mexican highlands. (Künne 2004)
