the u weeping bottle,&quot; has the porous ware thin at the corners of the 



eyes of the figure so that the water exudes slowly and drops like tears. 



&quot;Puzzle bottles,&quot; like those of India, have been found, formed of an 



interior arrangement of spiral tubes 

 and from which the fluid can only be 

 poured by inclining the bottle in a 

 certain way. 



Two trumpets of pottery on the 

 principle of the cornet were exhib 

 ited. They were made by folding a 

 pottery tube 40 inches long on itself 

 (fig. G2), and they accurately give the 

 fundamentals of the cord. Other fig 

 ures play on the pan pipe. 



A large, flat-bottomed bottle, with 

 handles, and (fig. G3) a black vase 

 with fluted body, like those of Ecua 

 dor, were exhibited. 



Wide-mouthed vases , shaped like 

 the cult vases of Egypt, in pottery 

 and wood, are frequent. In the 

 Spanish collection they were labeled 

 &quot;cult vases.&quot; They are figured in 



Wiener, page 626. Ladle-shaped &quot;incensarios,&quot; with masks at the 



end of the handle, are also found.
