02 Object Information
- Description
Copador polychrome vase decorated with two red bands, above and below the lip, followed by a band of pseudoglyphs.
The rest of the surface features five figures in left profile wearing headdresses, jewelry, and short skirts, separated by floral designs.
* Specular hematite is visible.
* The Cultural Property Register registered it as “recently manufactured,” however it is an original vase. Its decoration coincides with the established canons for this style, including the use of specular hematite. The record should be corrected.
