164. (40319). Medium size; decorations similar to those in Fig. 361,
except that here the elk or deer stands on a broad black band in which
there is a row of white diamonds.
165. (40321). Medium size; of the variety represented in Fig. 361, but
in these smaller pieces the bird zone is omitted, and there is but one
figured zone on the body. In this example a small elk is represented
as standing on the back of a larger one.
166. (40700). Medium size, belonging to the same type as the preceding.
On the neck are figures of grotesque kite-shaped birds.
167. (40701). Medium size; Fig. 369. This and the preceding one are not
designated as vases in the original Smithsonian Catalogue, nor in my
field list, but according to the form should be classed in this group.
168. (41165). Medium size; decorations similar to those of Fig. 367, but
varying in having the figure of a bird introduced in the middle belt
with a small double scroll arising out of the back. The lower belt has
the same bird reversed.
169. (39935). Medium size. The unusual decorations of this piece are
shown in Fig. 371. It differs, as does also Fig. 369, from the usual
form; the body is more nearly spherical, the neck more gracefully
curved, and the rim slightly flaring. The proportions are also
different; height, 8.75 inches; diameter of body, 10; of mouth, 6.5.
170. (41144). }
171. (41147). }
Decorations similar to those in Fig. 364; (41144) varies in having the
figures of elk or deer on the neck and in the coarser or ruder
scrolls.
172. (41149). This somewhat abnormal form is well shown in Fig. 372. It
is of medium size.
173. (41152). This belongs to the same type, both as to form and
decorations.
174. (41153). Large size; of the usual form, but the decorations on the
body peculiar, the design being crudely architectural.
175. (41156). Medium size, belonging to the type represented by Fig.
361.
176. (41163). Medium size. This pretty vase has a somewhat peculiar
decoration, which can be best described as a kind of patch-work
representing small fragments of pottery.
177. (41166). Medium size, with the usual elk and scroll figures.
178. (41167). This specimen, which is rather above medium size, presents
one of the most chaste designs in the entire group. It is represented
in Fig. 374. Attention is called especially to the leaves and to the
simple meander in the stripes.
179. (41168). Marked with the usual elk and scroll figures. Medium size.
