The Conte style ceramic plate from the Gran Cocl é region dates back to around 700 to 1000 AD. This type of plate features the typical color of Conte style (red circular base, black and red patterns on cream base). The typical pattern at the center of the plate is a white tailed deer (Odocoli virginianus), which repeatedly appears in this style and may symbolize some mythological significance. Remarkably, the claw details in the pattern became more stylized in the subsequent Macaracas style (1000-1150 AD)

White tailed deer is an animal belonging to the subfamily of hollow toothed deer and the genus of hollow toothed deer. The white tailed deer has a wide white tail, with a slightly reddish brown fur in summer and a slightly gray brown fur in winter. An adult white tailed deer has antlers, which extend forward on the main trunk and grow upward on the forked branch. The horns of the white tailed deer do not split, and its broad brown tail is covered with a patch of white fur. When the white tailed deer encounters a danger warning and rushes forward, its tail lifts upward, revealing its white color. It is said to have the effect of confusing pursuers, and the name of the white tailed deer comes from this.
