Fainting. The tribes n. of Mexico, as 

 well as tho.se of every part of the conti- 

 nent except, perhaps, the higher arctic 

 regions, delighted in the use of color. It 

 was very generally employed for embel- 

 lishing the person and in applying deco- 

 rativeandsymbolicdesigns to habitations, 

 sculptures, masks, shields, articles of bark, 

 skin, pottery, etc., in executing picto- 

 graphs upon natural surfaces of many 

 kinds, as on cliffs and the walls of caverns, 

 and in preparing the symbolic embellish- 

 ments of altars and sacred chambers (see 

 Dry-painting, Graphic art). Color was 

 applied to the person for decorative pur- 

 poses as an 

 essential j J 

 feature of 

 the toilet: 

 for impress- 

 ing behold- 

 ers with ad- 

 miration or 

 fear; for 

 purposes of 

 obscurity 

 and decep- 

 tion; in ap- 

 plying tri- 

 bal, person- 

 al, or other denotive devices; in the appli- 

 cation of symbolic designs, especially on 

 ceremonial occasions; and as a means of 

 protection from insects and the sun (see 

 Adornment) . The native love of color 

 and skill in its use were manifested espe- 

 cially in decorative work. This is illus- 

 trated by the wonderful masks and totem 

 poles of the N. W. coast tribes (Boas), 

 and in the artistic polychrome pottery 

 (q. V.) of the Pueblos (Fewkes). Little 

 advance had been made in representative 

 or pictorial art, yet some of the proiluc- 

 tionsare noteworthy, as illustrated in the 

 Hopi katcina work (Fewkes) and in the 

 Kiowa ceremonial paintings on skins de- 

 scribed by Mooney, although some of the 

 latter show unmistakable evidence of the 

 influence of the whites. 



The pigments were derived from many 

 sources, but were mainly of mineral ori- 

 gin (see Dyes and Pigments), especially 

 the oxides of iron (see Hematite) and car- 

 bonate of copper. The aborigines were 

 skilled in preparing the mineral colors, 

 which were usually ground in small mor- 

 tars or rubbed down on a flat stone, and
