Bellied, heavily fragmented jug with a domed base and a short, straight neck with sculptural decoration. The thickness of the vessel wall varies considerably. The object has been smoothed and slurried on both sides. Its exterior is primed, painted and polished. The primer and paint are partially eroded. Half of the vessel body is fragmented. The pottery has a brown base colour, which is painted black-brown on the outside of the vessel. The rim is decorated with a circumferential band. A bimorph face with painted (eyes) and applied (beak, anthropomorphic ears) attributes appears on the neck. It has large, round eyes and appears to be wearing a mask. The depiction probably represents an owl-like creature. Vertical, black-brown lines appear on the opposite side. The shoulder is decorated with a surrounding frieze bordered by horizontal lines. It shows diagonal bundles of lines imitating textile or wickerwork. There are also two low and high bands running around the body. The inside of the rim is primed brown and is decorated with a surrounding band. The body remains undecorated. According to Lothrop 1926: Nicoya black line ware. Cultural significance: the type was documented in burials. Its mould inventory comprises only jugs. (Künne 2004)
