Tradition: Antonio Utilitarian
Group: Arroyo
Type: Arroyo Rojo Anaranjado
Variety: Rayado
Phase: Early Acbi

Forms of the Rayado Variety are very similar to the ones in the Claro and Arroyo Varieties, which includes subhemispherical bowls, apastes, comales, and neck vessels. Comales occur more in the Claro Variety. Rayado vessels tend to have thinner rims and walls than the other two varieties. The exterior surface and interior rim of necked vessels are slipped, while both the exterior and interior surfaces of all other vessels are slipped. All vessels are well-polished. The slip is applied evenly, but streaky, and is typically red

Forms of the Claro Variety are very similar to the ones in the Rayado and Arroyo Varieties, which includes subhemispherical bowls, apastes, and comales. Comales occur more in the Claro Variety. The exterior surface and interior rim of necked vessels are slipped, while both the exterior and interior surfaces of all other vessels are slipped. All vessels are well-polished. The Claro Varitey has been slipped very thin, streaky and unevenly, so much that there are unslipped spots found on vessels. The colors vary widely, red to brownish yellow to dark grey, due to discoloration and slip variation.
