ETHNOLOGY. 387 



1. Right-shouldered slender collars. 



8029. (Fig. 53.) The shoulder is distinctly bell-shaped, having a 

 pecked chamfer on its outward portion. The transverse shoulder-ridge 

 is quite prominent. The right or plain panel is inclosed in a, quadrilat- 

 •eral ridge which bears on the middle of its anterior and posterior sides 

 ii very marked swelling. This is a constant feature on the anterior and 

 posterior margins of the panel on the shouldered side, whenever this 

 panel is present. The face of the panel is indented with an oval depres- 

 sion or cup-cutting. The left panel is bounded by a border-ridge, and 

 ornamented by a large ring in the center, on either side of which a hu- 

 man leg drawn up is represented. (Fig. 54.) The anterior margin of this 

 panel, which I have called the panel border, is a double scroll. 



8030J. The shoulder is well expressed and the shoulder-ridge wide. 

 The right panel is enclosed in a broad ridge with the swellings on the 

 margins, and has a plain center. The left panel is inclosed in a double 

 ridge and furrow looped and perforated at its upper anterior corner. 

 This is also quite plain, although the double scroll is found on the mar- 

 gin. This and the foregoing specimen were given to the National Mu- 

 seum some years ago. 



17080. (Fig. 55.) The shoulder is bell-shaped, and the encircling 

 shoulder-ridge abuts upon the shoulder so that no line separates them. 

 Theright panel is inclosed within a ridge with the swellings, and has an oval 

 cavity pecked deeply into its central space. The left panel is inclosed 

 by a ridge with the loop in its upper anterior corner, and is ornamented 

 by an elaborate winged sun-pattern. (Fig. 56.) The panel' border is a 

 ■wide scroll. 



17085. The shoulder is quite prominent, its upper circular face rolled 

 outward. The transverse shoulder-ridge is carried all the way around 

 the stone. The right panel is inclosed by a ridge with the prominences, 

 and is rough-pecked over its interior space. The left panel is inclosed 

 by a ridge, and was formerly well ornamented, but it is now nearly worn 

 off, whether by use or time I cannot say. The panel border is a delicate 

 double scroll, having two of the volutes perforated. The boss, which 

 in most of the slender collars is an immense swelling, oblique to the 

 plane of the stone, is in this specimen rolled out like a pouting lip. 



17087. The shoulder is bell shaped. The transverse shoulder-ridge 

 borders three sides of the shoulder — that is, it turns up along the mar- 

 gins of the collar. The right panel has the ridge and prominences but 

 no ornament. The left panel is inclosed in a ridge looped on the upper 

 anterior margin. The panel border is slightly scrolled, but much worn. 

 The boss is ridged up on the inside of the specimen. 



17088. The shoulder is a mere swelling with a slight transverse ridge, 

 The prominences are present on the ridge of the right panel, which is orna- 

 mented with a shallow oval depression. There is no ornament on the 

 left panel. This is a very plain specimen and rudely polished.
