more elaborately decorated boat-shaped vessels with rudimentary 

 annular base have outward-peering figurine heads applied at sides 

 of vessel near the margin. (PL 43, left.) 



Earthenware effigy vessel, 7.7 inches (19.6 centimeters) long, 3.7 

 inches (9.4 centimeters) deep. Ked slip, with no evidence of former 

 use. Has a truncated bottom and a low annular base below the 

 shoulder. The plane of the incurved walls is angular. Decoration 

 on incurved upper half of the wall consists of a series of panels, 

 each of which is made up of two concentric oval incised lines alter- 

 nating with vertical crescent-shaiDed lines terminating in puncta- 

 tions. The body of the bowl is also the body of the effigy, the head 

 of which appears protruding like a spout from one end of the 

 vessel and the tail as a semicircular ribbon of clay at the other. 

 This vessel is one of the few known forms of effigy vessels from 

 southeastern Santo Domingo. Andres. (PI. 54, lower row, end and 

 profile.) 



Earthenware vase or jar, 4.4 inches (11.2 centimeters) deep, 4.6 

 inches (11.7 centimeters) maximum diameter. Gourd-shaped with 

 central constriction of the walls dividing the vessel into an upper 

 and lower compartment. Lower section is oval with definitely 

 marked flat bottom and undercoated walls ; the upper section is oval 

 and boat-shaped and decorated on the incurved upper shoulder area 

 in characteristic Tainan fashion, with figurine heads at the end and 

 incised lines with terminal punctations forming angular figures 

 and panels at the sides. This type of pottery is reminiscent of the 

 rectangular earthenware of the Iroquois, which is characterized by 

 an overhanging rectangular frieze and irregular boat-shaped margin.

 eter, 3 inches (7.7 centimeters) deep. Oval in outline, with no
