213. (41105). Similar to that shown in Fig. 361.

Black ware:
226. (39930). Large size; without ornamentation.
The only black water vase obtained at Zuñi; it was doubtless procured
from some other tribe. The black ware obtained from, this tribe is in
nearly all cases used for cooking, or holding liquids or moist foods. As
remarked in another place, the Zuñi black ware is generally small except
in cases where large quantities of food are to be cooked, which occurs
at feast tunes, when very large vessels are employed.
_WATER JUGS AND JARS._
These vary so greatly in form that it is impossible to give any general
description that would convey a correct idea.

the small mouth, no neck. White ware with scalloped bands and a
Maltese cross.

decorations.
229. (39899). Somewhat similar in form to the preceding, except that it
is lower and more depressed, and instead of a mouth, at the top there
is an orifice at the side as in the canteens, with which this should
probably be classed.

231. (40062). Similar in form to No. 227, but without handle; with a
double scalloped band around the constricted portion, and a single one
