Grey clay, ceramic sherd, slightly rectangular in shape with incised triangular and angled lines running from one side to the middle of the object. The other side is undecorated but red and slightly concaved. The back is flat, smooth and slightly concaved.
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 sherd appears to be part of an incised band which Stone (p.55) associates with alligator symbols. It also shows similarities to red and buff ceramics of the Aguas Buenas/Concepcion Complex (Abel-Vidor et al., p.77).
