The conventional crook and the filled corner triangle and oblique 
lines are all used in this decoration. All of the work is well done and 
of good color. 
Plate 46, A, is 26 cm. in diameter and 9 cm. in depth. In the 
middle of the bottom is a slightly raised mound which indicates that 
a mold was used to start the pot. Both interior and exterior are 
decorated with variations of the triangle and oblique line designs 
common to the biscuit ware. There are three panels inside and four 
outside. The paste of the bowl is excellent, although the design is 
not as carefully done as on some pieces. (Fig. 10.) 
Plate 45, F, has long curving sides followed by a sharp incurve and 
then a straight rising from the incurve. (Fig. 10.) Set on the 
incurve on opposite sides are handles. One, an ordinary one such 
as is sometimes found on the biscuit bowls, is not unusual; the other, 
a combination of handle and extra small bowl, is not seen often The 
small bowl on the side is 2 cm. in 
width, 3 cm. in length, and 1 em. 
indepth. Thefunction of this lit- 
tle bowl on the side is not known, 
but the fact that thespecimen was 
found in a room containing many 
ceremonial things would suggest 
that the whole bowl was for cere- 
monial purposes. The large bowl 
is 23.5 cm. in diameter at the 
rim and 95 mm. in depth. The 
interior decoration consists of one 
heavy and two lighter circles. 
Above these are four panels with. 
step, filled corner triangle, and 
oblique lines. Above these again are three circular lines, and above 
this on the inside of the rim is a running band of wavelike lines. 
The rim itself is decorated with black dots. The exterior decoration 
is a series of four panels all alike, and one small extra one, which is 
a variation of the four. The same steps, filled corner triangles, and 
oblique lines occur in all of them excepting the smallone. (Fig. 10.) 
Plate 45, G, at first appears to be old Hopi and also has a sug- 
gestion of the Mimbres ware. It is a bowl 19 cm. in diameter and 
76 mm. in depth. It has a decided incurving rim with round 
shoulder. The interior decoration is a turtle and two birds perched 
on trees. The head of the turtle has been restored from a drawing 
shown in Dr. Kidder’s paper on the Pajaritan pottery. Across the 
back of the turtle is a cross of double lines with dots between them. 
Branching off from the spaces between the hind legs and the tail are
