Guanacaste Nicoya, ca. 500-1000 AD

Globular jar with tall flaring neck, painted in red and black on an orange ground. The neck carries a band of stylized creatures, probably serpents, with circular eyes and serrated crests; the shoulder is incised with a continuous plaited guilloche band between raised ridges; the lower body repeats the painted creature motif. A tubular projection on the shoulder supports a modeled articulated jaguar head with open, toothed jaws. Function not established; the projection may have served as a spout. Wear to the paint; losses to the effigy head.
