Five sided ceramic rim sherd with red and black design on cream slip. Design on convex side from rim: red band, row of black circles with triangles between which blend into black horizontal line, two more black lines and two wide red bands to bottom. Concave side design from rim: wide red band, two black horizontal bands; centre black vertical wavy line to bottom with three black vertical stripes on either side; three black triangles with 'zigzag' edges on right; on left three diagonal lines and remnants of triangle shapes.
Pre-Columbian Costa Rica was part of the transitional zone between the traditions of Meso America and South America. Influences from both areas are evident with the most powerful and extensive coming from the north, particularly for the Pacific area. This fragment is from a vessel with a 'textile' design.
