by a lozenge shape figure made up of many parallel lines placed ob- 
liquely to the axis of the design. The central part is composed of seven 
parallel lines, the marginal of which, on two opposite sides, is minutely 
dentate. The median band is very broad and is relieved by two wavy 
white lines. The axis of the design on each side is continued into two 
triangular spurs, rising from a rectangle in the middle of each triangle.

This complicated design is the highest development reached by the use 
of simple triangles. In figure 291, however, we have a simpler form of 
triangular decoration, in which no element other than the rectangle is 
employed. In the chaste decoration seen in figure 292 the use of the 
rectangle is shown combined with the triangle on a simple encircling

band. This design is reducible to that shown in figure 290, but is simpler, 
yet not less effective. In figure 293 there is an aberrant form of design 
in which the triangle is used in combination with parallel and oblique 
bands. This form, while one of the simplest in its elements, is effective 
and characteristic. The triangle predominates in figure 294, but the

details are worked out in rectangular patterns, producing the terraced 
designs so common in all Pueblo decorations. Rectangular figures 
are more commonly used than the triangular in the decoration of the 
exterior of the bowls, and their many combinations are often very 
perplexing to analyze.
