Thick-walled, trapezoidal ceramic fragment depicting an anthropomorphic face. The object has applied, engraved and engraved decorations. It was primed on both sides and was connected to another object component at the level of the chin area. There is a break on the forehead. The carelessly crafted fragment has a red base colour. The anthropomorphic figure wears a headdress, which was represented by horizontal engravings and dots. Engraved lines and dots also appear to indicate face painting. Nose, eyes and ears have been added. Social significance: the fragment probably served as the head protome of a three-legged incense burner. According to Lothrop 1926: San Isidro Group. (Künne 2004)
