Terracotta cup with flaring neck and slightly in-curving rim and polychrome slip decoration. There is a red band around the interior lip edge and a black band around the top and exterior edge of the lip. Below this there are two abstract condors alternating with panels of black eye and cheek mark symbols on a white background. The condor design is in red, orange, tan, grey and black on an off-white background. There is a red band between and below the four image panels, and a grey band below that. The lower body and entire base is tan. There is a thin crack extending down from the lip to the base.
