content: Fourteen fragments of black ware from Tres Zapotes, including several rim fragments. The largest piece is 9 cm by 7.5 cm and the smallest is 6 cm by 3 cm. Most of the pieces are dark black with incised designs, featuring prominent hatching, triangles, parallel bands, and steps. Two pieces are much lighter in color due to over-firing and have simpler, more rounded designs. At this time nine of the fragments are not available for display.
