This Chorotega vessel, dating from 300 - 799, is a testament to the artistic skill of the pre-Columbian culture of Central America. The vessel is decorated with intricate geometric and zoomorphic motifs, including stylized eyes, a bird-like figure, and a band of triangles. The vessel's bulbous form and handle suggest it was likely used for carrying or serving liquids. The vessel is housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
