Undecorated except for bilaterally placed inward-gazing figurine 

 heads. This vessel is not boat-shaped like others just described, 

 resembling more the eazuela type of bowl. Patches of a slip in 

 vermilion color appear around the upper margin. Andres. (PI. 

 42, lower left.) 



Boat-shaped earthenware bowl, 5.5 inches (14 centimeters) long, 

 4.9 inches (12.5 centimeters) wide, 3.3 inches (8.3 centimeters) deep. 

 Bounded globular walls, including a rounded bottom with but 

 slightly incurved walls above upper shoulder ridge, a peculiarity 

 being the rectangular form of the upper portion of the vessel. Dec- 

 oration appears, as is the usual Tainan practice, only on the upper 

 incurved walls and consists of diagonally etched lines in series, each 

 terminated with a rounded, deeply incised punctation. Figurine 

 heads at opposite ends of the vessel are flanked with ribbons of clay 

 representing the legs or arms but transversely bisected in such a way 

 as to suggest a serpent design. Andres. (PI. 42, lower center.) 



Rectangular earthenware bowl, 5.7 inches (14.4 centimeters) long, 

 6.5 inches (14 centimeters) wide, 2.7 inches (7 centimeters) deep. 

 Unusually large flat bottom, globular walls, terminating in a short 

 incurved upper section. Although the margin itself is pronouncedly 

 incurved and oval, a rectangular appearance is given to this vessel 

 by means of knobs luted on at opposite ends. Instead of the usual 

 figurine heads appearing at opposite ends of the vessel there is an 

 indentation where normally there appears a figurine head. No other 

 decoration present. Valley of Constanza. (PI. 42, lower right.) 



Earthenware bowl, 7 inches (17.8 centimeters) diameter by 3 inches 

 (7.7 centimeters) deep. No trace of slip remains. Salmon-colored 

 ware. Thin-walled, smooth-textured, oval and hemispherical in out- 

 line with lateral walls continued as rounded bottom. Two large 

 projecting figurine lugs of unusual type, incised with lines and ter- 

 minal punctations on the inner surface but plain on outer. Small 

 conventional figurine heads cap the central portion of each rectan- 

 gular lug. Andres. (PL 50, center.) 



Round earthenware bowl, 5.8 inches (17.2 centimeters) length, 5.7 

 inches (14.4 centimeters) width, 2.7 inches (7 centimeters) depth. 

 Plain surface with slightly incurved margin. No decoration except 

 one inward-peering figurine head at one end of the bowl. Andres.

Round earthenware bowl, 7 inches (17.8 centimeters) long, 5.5 

 inches (14 centimeters) wide, 2.3 inches (5.7 centimeters) deep. 

 Rounded globular walls, slightly incurved margin, no distinct bot- 

 tom; plain except for applied figurine heads bilaterally placed and 

 peering inward. Vessels with rounded walls and no pronounced 

 rim have inward-peering figurine heads, while the flat-bottomed and
