Clay vessel

Small, bulbous vessel with a central rim, stand ring and overhanging rim. There are applied appliqués on the lip. The object has been smoothed, sanded and primed on both sides. Its exterior is painted and engraved. The paint and primer are partially eroded. Leaked salts appear in the depressions. The pottery has an orange base colour, which was painted red on the outside of the vessel. The rim has applied and painted knobs with dotted decoration. A horizontal band runs underneath the rim. An engraved serrated band appears on the shoulder. It was moulded and painted red before firing. There is another circumferential red band below the rim. The inside of the rim was primed in orange. The body remains undecorated. Cultural significance: the object is related to the historical groups Curridabat ware (Hartman 1901, 1907), stone cist ware (La Cabaña Aplicado) and red line ware, type C (Lothrop 1926), which belong to the ceramic system of the Costa Rican highlands.
