DOA No: 33/200-5:10 An Actuncan polychrome bowl with outcurved sides and a basal flange. It has a ring base, direct rim, and rounded lip. The ring base is 4 cm in height and 7.2 cm in diameter. Decoration of the vessel body consists of two red and black hummingbird designs alternating with two framed serpent head profiles on an orange base. The flange is 2.7 cm wide and is painted with stepped forms which, most likely, represent half of a portal motif. These are arranged in alternating orientations. Inside the vessel, there are red (1.4 cm wide) and black (0.3 cm) circumferential lines. The paste is pinkish gray and has a fine texture with some iron particles permeating the surface. There is some evidence for smoothing of the base. The vessel was inverted over the skull.
