| Hemispherical Bowls, bowls with composite walls, cylindrical vases, and jars with painted designs in red, black, and optionally yellowish orange on a cream to light orange base. The red paint is used almost always specular (small specks of crystals flash as the vessel is moved in strong light). Copador clay is cream colored and is not very hard ro dense. Designs include bands of motifs derived from Maya glyphs, seated individuals, individuals in a swimming position, melon-like stripes, birds or other animals, and others. |
