Cuaxiloa Matte Polychrome is identified by a dull white/light gray slip. Painted decoration is in brown and/or orange, and is usually in the form of complex geometric motifs in a panel around the rim. Occasionally the interior base will feature and elaborate codex-style motif. The only subtype that occues in quantity has a polished rather than matte surface. Cuaxiloa Matte is diagnostic of the Late Tlachihualtepetl period (1050-1200 CE).
