Copador Plychrome come in a varitye of forms, but the predominately hemispherical and sub-hemispherical bowls. There are 13 decorative varieties, but a specular hematite red paint is the defining feature of this type. It is used alongside of black and orange paints. CV1 has a glyph motif band, either form A or B described by Longyear, on the upper exterior/interior wall (depending on form) with a single red rim band above. Form A glyphs are abstract, while form B glyphs are variations of a head, a hand and some object (e.g. a scroll). Human Figures, monkeys and birds are also common glyphs painted on the Copador Polychrome type. It is typical to see the glyphs bordered by two red lines and dark orange filling the spaces.

Variety: CV12

Phase: Acbi/Coner Transition, Early Coner, Late Coner

Copador Polychrome come in a variety of forms, but the predominately hemispherical and sub-hemispherical bowls. There are 13 decorative varieties, but a specular hematite red paint is the defining feature of this type. It is used alongside of black and orange paints. CV12 was not decorated with a glyph band described by Longyear (A, B, or C). Instead the glyph band is pseudoglyphic, with concentric ovals similar to the Gualpopa Polychrome. CV12 is often outlined by a single red/black line, and on occasion the space between the black line and the glyph is filled in with red paint. Vessels posses one of the six rim band types consisting of either a single red or black band, both, or multiple with varying amounts in each color. The interior surface is left plain, except for a band on the rim.
