COLLECTIONS FEOM ACOMA. 

 AETICIiES OF CLAY. 



WATER VASES. 



There are but few pieces of this jjottery, yet a careful examination of 

 these since my return increases my desire to procure more. The Acoma 

 bears a strong resemblance, especially in the ornamentation, to that from 

 Laguna. All that was obtained was of white ware with decorations in 

 color. In this pottery, in most cases where animals are figured, they 

 have a base or ground on which to stand. 



2401. (39578). Medium size, figures of birds, ant-hills, and cactus. No 

 band on the neck. 



2402. (39581). Fig. 618. 



2403. (39582). Very pretty specimen, quite symmetrical, broad jar- 

 shaped, a scalloped baud on the neck with little tassels suspended 

 from it, possibly intended to imitate fringe. Large triangles on 

 the body pointing to the right, each tipped with a flower. 



2404. (39730). Small scalloped band around the neck similar to Fig. 

 624. 



2405. (41310). Large- double band of triangles on the neck ; body with 

 a band of large diamonds, or squares placed as diamonds, with 

 checkered centers and crescents. 



2406. (41313). No band on the neck ; birds and ant hills. 



2407. (41314). No band on neck ; large elk and some irregular figures. 



2408. (41315). No baud on neck ; bird on the ground amid leaves and 

 flowers. 



2409. (41316). Fig. 619. The ornamentation on this is more than usually 

 spirited. 



2410. (41318). Scalloped margin, no neck-band; belt of large open dia- 

 monds around the body, each upper corner capped with three 

 leaves. See Fig. 621. 



2411. (41317). Large size ; a double band of crescents around the neck ; 

 then on the shoulder an arched band with a central stripe of dia- 

 monds; below this a double line of inverted crescents, and below 

 this a large three-lealed plant. See Fig. 620.
