Polychrome terracotta, time stamp.
Guanacaste, Costa Rica - Panama, Linear decoration period, 300 - 500 AD

Provenance: acquired from Galerie Arts des Amériques, 25 May 1977
In the Guanacaste-Nicoya region, production from the linear decoration period focused on the graphic stylisation of motifs. Here, the jaguar, associated with power and the nocturnal world, is treated synthetically. The overall effect is a search for visual efficiency, where the simplification of forms enhances the legibility of the decoration.
