Quite distinct in outline from the preceding forms is the bottle shown 

 in Fig. 432. The neck is high and cylindrical and the body resembles 

 a slightly-flattened globe. Set about the shoulder are four medallion- 

 like faces, the features of which arc modeled roughly in low relief. The 

 ware is of the ordinary dark, slightly polished variety. 



We have in Fig. 433 a good example of bottle-shaped vessels, the neck 

 of which is wide and short, and the body much compressed vertically. 

 There are a number of duplicates of it in the Museum. The specimen 

 illustrated is in the national collection, and was obtained in Arkansas. 

 It is a handsome vase, symmetrical in form, quite dark in color, and 

 highly polished. The upper surface of the body is ornamented with a 

 collar formed of a broad fillet of clay, or rather of two fillets, the pointed 

 ends of which unite on opposite sides of the vase.
