WATER VASES. 



140. (39871). Form and decorations shown in Fig. 359. The slender 

 shading lines only are brown, the rest of the figuring black; the base 

 in this as in most Zuui pottery is reddish or slate colored. This 

 may be considered as the type of one variety of decorations, readily 

 distinguished by the unadorned circular spaces, the large scrolls, 

 and the absence of animal forms. The larger forms of these vases 

 are called by the Zuuians Mh' -ici-nd-lid-tehl-le ; the smaller forms, 

 det-tsan-na. 



141. (39916). The ornamentation is well shown in Fig. 360. The combi- 

 nations on this piece are rare on Zuiii pottery, and the chief figure 

 on the body is more symmetrical than is usual in this group of 

 ware. This may also be considered as representing a second type 

 of decorations of which there is but one other example in the col- 

 lection. 



142. (39920). This belongs to the variety represented by Fig. 360, and 

 varies chiefly in having the neck decorated with leaf-like figures, 

 and in having the scrolls replaced by triangles with inner serratures. 



143. (39934). The largest size ; Fig. 361. The decorations of this piece 

 belong to a third variety, distinguished chiefly by the presence of 

 the elk or deer. Attention is called to the three figured zones or 

 belts on the body, the upper with the arch inclosing an elk ; the 

 middle and narrow belt adorned with figures of birds with a long 

 crest feather. The helix or scroll is freely introduced in this variety. 

 The one here figured is typical of quite a large group. The ani- 

 mals are usually black, as are the lines separating the spaces.
