Large escudilla PRT 00499 (rim diameter 25.6 cm). The vessel's exterior is undecorated, whereas the interior of its flaring rim displays atypical decoration. This escudilla has a "pouring lip" (visible on the left), apparently very rare in Tiwanaku ceramics.

Pedestal bowl PRT 00525 (rim diameter 16.9 cm). The vessel's exterior body displays six, and the pedestal two additional, trophy heads.

The pedestal of the vessel PRT 00529 (rim diameter 30.6 cm) is a portrait head. A modeled feline peers over the rim of the vessel.

The sahumador PRT 00539 (rim diameter 18.8 cm) displays only exterior decoration: a band of step motifs below the rim, above the vessel's two opposing, vertical handles. This is one of the 19 vessels whose sherds were deposited both in Feature 1 and in Feature 2.

The tinaja PRT 00310 (height 36.8 cm) has a pair of opposing, vertical body handles. On the shoulders are four repeats of a design consisting of an avian head and several step motifs.

Blackware beakers PRT 00262 (on the left; height 17.5 cm) and 00173 (on the right). The base of the vessel on the left seems to represent a right foot, that of its "near-pair" a left foot. Thirteen incised trophy head motifs circle the exterior rim of the better-preserved beaker.

Three so-called kidney-shaped bowls. The vessel in the background (PRT 00190; maximum rim diameter 21.7 cm) is of the larger variant with a rounded base. The smaller vessel on the left in the foreground (PRT 00107; maximum rim diameter 15.8 cm) has a rather flat base, the small bowl on the right (PRT 00189; maximum rim diameter 11.0 cm) a slightly projecting ring base.

Three female effigy vessels: PRT 00268 (on the left; height 15.2 cm), 00184 (in the middle; height 20.4 cm), and 00181 (on the right; height 14.4 cm). Note the careful manner in which the clothing worn by each woman is depicted.

Male effigy vessels PRT 00074 (on the left; height 20.5 cm) and 00166 (on the right; height 21.0 cm). Both men have long sideburns and wear a labret in the upper lip and a collar or necklace. The curious four-pointed base of the vessel on the right may represent a fruit.

Portrait vessels PRT 00316 (on the left; height 26.8 cm) and 00075 (on the right; height 12.5 cm). Both portray males with short hair, who wear large earplugs and a labret in the lower lip. The male of the larger portrait vessel also wears a curious necklace/collar.
