Pottery of Costa Rica and Nicaragua
Pottery of Costa Rica and Nicaragua is a 1926 scholarly catalogue by archaeologist Samuel K. Lothrop, published in New York by the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, for museum researchers and collectors of pre-Columbian ceramics. Its plates show vessels and ceramic objects with painted and incised designs, drawn in flat line or stippled tone. A designer could take from them the bold red-and-cream banding of the first vessel, the radiating spiked motif of the second, and the segmented concentric layout of the third.
