POTTERY OF THE ANCIENT PUEBLOS. 



A vessel of very archaic appearance is illustrated in Fig. 252. In 

 form, color, and finish it differs from the preceding example. The 



Fig. 251. — Yellow vaae from Tusavan.- 



mouth is almost as wide as the body at its greatest circumference, the 

 color is gray, and the coils are narrow and regularly indented. A minute 

 coiled fillet is attached to the rim for ornament.

The vessel illustrated in Fig. 253 is one of the most noteworthy of 

 its class. In form and construction it does not differ essentially from 

 specimens already described, but the decoration is superior. The coils 

 are indented in such a way as to produce a pattern of triangular figures, 

 which is carried over the entire surface of the vessel. It belongs to the 

 Keam collection, and comes from the province of Tusayau.
