| Mostly cylindrical vases, usually with very short and wide tabular supports. The larger examples may have two opposing modeled heads just below the rim representing monkeys or other animals. Bold designs are painted on a cream to orange base, using different combinations of black, dull red, dark orange, and yellow. The normally invisible clay is brick red. Black was often used to create ample panels as a backdrop for featured designs. The principle designs are strikingly displayed and can include: mat patterns, twisted cord patterns, animals, humans, sea shells, ball courts, and other motifs. |
