THE BROOKLYN MUSEUM 



An exhibit of pottery from the prehistoric Indians of 

 Arizona occupies a case at the left of these models, and at 

 the right objects from the Keres Indians of Laguna include 

 masks, moccasins, stone implements and fetiches. 



On the right side of the hall the center floor cases exhibit 

 pottery of the Tewa, Keres and Tigua Indians, to the left 

 of which is a collection of pottery and antiques excavated 

 from prehistoric Indian graves near Fort Defiance, Ari- 

 zona. This pottery is the ordinary domestic ware, very sim- 

 ilar to that found in the Canon de Chelly. Much of it is 

 decorated, and the cooking pots were made by the coil 

 process. With the skeletons were found bone awls, or- 

 naments, paint and other objects, among which a prehistoric 

 copper bell and a decorated clay pipe are especially inter- 

 esting. 



The case on the east wall at this end of the hall con- 

 tains prayer sticks, stone implements and other exhibits 

 from the Jemez Indians of New Mexico, and in the same 

 case are games, implements, fetiches and shrine offerings 

 from the Keres. Games of the Tewa Indians are also shown 

 here. Miscellaneous objects from the Keres Indians find 

 a place on the shelves above. 



The California Indian Hall (Room 1 on plan) is entered 

 from Room 3 from the west, and contains collections from 

 five different tribal groups. These are the Porno Indians 

 of Mendocino and Lake Counties, the Maidu of Plumas 

 County, the Hupa Valley and Klamath River Indians of 

 Humboldt County, the Mono of Madeira County and sev-
