388 COLLECTIONS OF 1879 WOLPL 



I am not aware that these images are used in their dances or religious 

 ceremonies. If they are objects of worship it must be in the family only, 

 or a secret worship of which I obtained. no information. 



Images are introduced, however, in their dances and rehgious rites, 

 but these are made of wood and highly ornamented, some of which were 

 obtained and are hereafter described. 



1841. (42026). Composed of the same clays of which the general pottery 

 is made, with small lines of a brick-red color up and down the 

 body ; black lines over the shoulder and around the body, termin- 

 ating so as to represent hands ; small earlets, made of blue beads, 

 suspended from the ears ; face in white, with black spots to repre- 

 sent mouth and eyes ; horn-shaped cap, extending obliquely back 

 from the head. Represents a male figure. 



1842. (42027). Same as above, except the head, which has a square 

 bunch at its back, representing the one method of wearing the 

 hail- by the Shiuumos. Male figure. 



1843. (42028). Same as No. 1841, especially in regard to the horn-shaped 

 protrusion from the back of the head. 



1844. (42029). Plain flat image, probably intended to represent a female. 

 1846. (42030). This image is quite characteristic of this class of objects. 



The cut shows all but the colors, which are the same as described 

 above, the form only differing from No. 1841 in having two horns 

 curving back from the head. Seen in Fig 533. 



1846. (42031). Differs only from the rest in having a small hat on the 

 head. 



1847. (42032). Female figure, but with a black band around under the 

 chin, apparently representing whiskers ; dark brown body. 



1848. (42033). Female figui-e with wheel-shaped knot on each side of the 

 head representing the manner of wearing the hair by the Shinumo 

 women, the body of the figure cream colored, face red, eyes and 

 mouth black ; black necklace. Special parts of the body repre- 

 sented in red. 



1849. (42034). Male figure ornamented with red vertical lines. 



1850. (42035). Fig. 534. The cut presents all the lines on the image as 

 well as the form. The small wheels on each side of the head re- 

 ferred to under No. 1848 show the style of wearing the hair ; the 

 black markings shown on the cut are red on the figure. Female.
