Guanacaste–Nicoya Tripod Vessel with Lizards
This ceramic tripod vessel from the Guanacaste–Nicoya region (500–1350) features sculpted lizards climbing its legs. Lizards were linked to the earth, regeneration, and shamanic power. Such vessels may have been used in ritual offerings, where the animal motifs reinforced symbolic ties to fertility, renewal, and the spiritual realm.
