FIGS. 391-393. Fish-shaped clay vessels. 







Among the fish-formed vessels figured in M. Charles Wiener's work on 

 Peru and Bolivia is one from Arica, which exhibits the same general character.* 

 It is represented in Fig. 391. In Figs. 392 and 393 I present forms of clay 

 vessels from Trujillo, belonging to Dr. Jose M. Macedo's collection of Peruvian 

 antiquities, now on exhibition at Paris.f 



In describing the fish-shaped vessel from Missouri, represented in Fig. 357 

 on page 213, I directed attention to its similarity to the corresponding class of 

 Peruvian earthenware. I hardly need add that I draw no conclusions whatever 

 from- this resemblance. 



I cannot remember having seen Peruvian vessels with fish-figures painted 

 on them, and know of their existence only from descriptions. Dr. Macedo men- 

 tions in his catalogue several vessels ornamented with painted fish-designs, 

 associated with other figures.
