Indian pottery -- North America; Indians of North America -- Arizona; Indians of North America -- Industries; Indians of North America -- New Mexico
180. (39774). The decorations of this piece, shown in Fig. 373, may be
classed with the peculiar type with oblique and vertical bands
represented in Fig. 374.
181. (39917). Figures similar to those in Fig. 363.
182. (40768). The decorations on this piece consist entirely of
representations of pyramids or possibly of pueblos, and are arranged
in bands, one on the neck and two on the body; the two upper bands
show the figures inverted.
183. (40770). }
184. (40771). }
No. 183 is decorated with scrolls and bird scrolls and a scalloped
line around the shoulder; No. 184 with elks and scrolls on the body.
185-188. 185, (40800). Fig. 378. The grotesque or kite-like bird seen on
the neck, though rarely seen on the large water vase, is common on the
small ones. To this type belong the following Nos. 186, (40769); 187,
(40772); 188, (40791).
189. (40773). }
190. (40776). }
These have the usual triangular and scroll designs without animal
figures, as in Fig. 364.
191. (40777). Fig. 377. The decorations on this evidently belong to the
same type as those represented in Fig. 359, the bird on the neck being
the only variation. To this type also belong the following numbers:
192, (40778); 193, (40792); 194, (40794).
195. (40779). }
196. (40781). }
197. (40788). }
198. (40787). }
199. (40788). }
200. (40801). }
These belong to the type represented by Fig. 361, distinguished
chiefly by the elk, triangular figures, and scrolls.
201. (40780). }
202. (40784). }
203. (40786). }
204. (40790). }
The decorations on these are similar to those shown in Figs. 366, 367,
368, and 370, in which the rosette is a distinguishing characteristic.
Nos. 201, 202, and 203 are without figures of animals; No. 204 has a
double belt of elk figures between the rosettes.
205. (40782). The designs on this remain unfinished; except that the
triangles on the neck and the arches in which it was evidently the
intention to place the figures of animals, are shown.
206. (40785). Fig. 375. This pretty vase, as will be seen by reference
to the figure, has the diameter greater in proportion to the height
than usual. Although the design is tasteful the hues are coarse and
not so well drawn as the figure indicates.
207. (40789). On this there is an evident attempt to represent a pueblo
or communal dwelling and the ladders.
208. (40793). Shown in Fig. 376.
209. (40795). Neck and lower belt of the body marked with vertical lines
and oblique diamonds; upper belt with inverted pyramidal figures.
210. (40849). Very small; marked with oblique scalloped lines.
211. (40850). Very small; elk and grotesque bird on the body.
212. (40851). Very small; decorations similar to those on the middle
belt of Fig. 373.
