Specimen No. SOIOJ^G. — Part of a sling of the solid-cradled type. 

 Locality. — Lomas. 



Colors. — Red, green, and white. 



Design.— Geometric, serpentine. (See pi. 22, fig. 3.) 



Material. — Cotton and wool. 



Remarks. — The only cotton sling in the collection. The white cotton founda 

 tion has been treated with some sort of a chalky preparation to make it white. 

 Upon this ground an attractive design has been embroidered in woolen threads. 

 The delicate nature of the specimen makes it seem likely that it was ceremonial 

 rather than utilitarian. Condition, fragmentary.
