COLUMBIAN HISTORICAL EXPOSITION AT MADRID. 297 



WHITE AND BLACK POTTERY. 



Nos. 394 to 468 display the features of the so-called white and black pottery, which 

 is no longer made, and can only be found in one or two ruins near Keam s Canyon. 

 Among the specimens of this pottery are comprised all the types now in use. The 

 decorations are very simple, as they represent neither animals, plants, nor sacred 

 emblems. It is, without any doubt, the simplest class of the painted pottery of 

 Tusayan. 



394. Vase with bands, dots, and triangles interlaced. It is one of the most regularly 



shaped specimens in the collection. 



395. Large jar for holding water or for carrying it from one place to another. It is 



the best painted specimen of all the white and black pottery. 



396. Amphora, with a zigzig baud around the edge. The only one of this shape, 



and with these characteristic decorations. 



397. Drinking vase, with three salient protuberances. It very probably represents 



some imaginary bird. 



398. Sieve for scattering flour or sand. 



399. Jar with a single handle, with painted triangles. One of the simplest forms of 



the white and black pottery. 



400. Vase in the shape of a shoe, for carrying the sacred flour in the ceremonies.

411. Vase for food, with figures imitating rectangles. 



412. Vase for food, with figures on tLe outside. In ancient pottery, as well as in 



modern, it is very rarely that vases for food are found with decorations on 

 the outside.

414. Narrow-mouthed jar, with spirals.

also used for cooking and for boiling water.
