Horizontal lines indicate red; diagonal lines indicate purple. ments of dotted circles on a black ground (fig. 22, e,f) combined with barbed feathers (see fig. 40, I), an element frequently found in the Higo variety, Macaracas Polychrome. A white ground circle and dot motif (fig. 22, a), common in the Cuipo variety, is present on the shoulder, and the body of the vessel exhibits a mouth motif (fig. 22, d). The photograph of the Panamanian example (Find 334) shows the scale or turtle shell elements of figure 23, a, interspersed in the undula- tions of a red-filled black-bordered band combined with what appears to be a wing element. One of the handle fragments (fig. 22, b) combines the black ground circle and dot element with a barbed feather. The other (fig. 23, d) exhibits the black ground circle and dot element alone. The plate sherds are decorated with the hammerhead shark motif and the undulating line turtle element. Variations from other sites.—The Museum of the American Indian possesses three vessels which may be assigned to this variety. One (cat. No. 22/9455) from Veraguas is a "double rimmed" type bowl on a pedestal base generally similar in overall shape to the unpainted vessels illustrated by Lothrop (1950, pp. 41-43) as typical of Veraguas. It is decorated with a hammerhead shark motif, a stingray or barbed tail, a mouth, and the fish scale element described above (fig. 22,/), The base is banded. Another vessel (cat. No. 22/9450), from the Finca Calderon, Parita, is a small rendition of the vessel described.
