Coapan Laca Polychrome is the most elaborate of the Cholula polychromes, and is identified by a lacquer-like finish over a white base coat. As noted by Noguera (1954), the painted outer surface was often poorly bonded to the white base, so that it chips off easily. Painted decoration includes brilliant colors and complete motifs that often incorporates codex style symbolic elements. Coapan Laca is diagnostic of the Late Cholollan period (1400-1550 CE).
