STATUETTES. 



The clay images or statuettes obtained from the Shinumo pueblos are 

 not objects of worship as supposed by many persons, but appear to be 

 used to adorn their dwellings just as similar articles are used by civil- 

 ized races. This is evideuu from their form and ornamentation which 

 rudely represent the ordinary clothing worn by these Indians, and in 

 the female figures the usual mode of wearing the hair either in a bunch 

 at the back of the head or in two wheel-shaped knots at the sides. In 

 a few instances ear ornaments, made of pieces of shells or beads, are 

 found attached to the ears.
