and with one exception were all freshly made for sale. Fig. 387 repre- 
sents the only antique specimen of this kind (No. 56496 [655]). This 
was found among the débris in one of the old ruined houses in Utki- 
avwin by Lieut. Ray, and is very old, blackened, and dirty. The cary- 
ing was evidently done with a blunt instrument, probably a stone tool. 
This specimen, which was perhaps the head of a doll, is 7-1 inches in

The man (No. 89726 [1192])is 11 inches long and tolerably well pro-

eyes and mouth are incised and the hair colored with black-lead. The 
woman (No. 89727 [1193]) is a very similar figure, but only 9-2 inches 
long. She has prominent breasts, and her legs are shorter in propor- 
tion than the man’s. 
No. 89725 [1185], from Utkiavwin, is a clumsy image of a man, rudely 
whittled out of a flat, hard-wood stick, 74 inches long. The body and 
legs are long, the latter somewhat straddling, with clumsy feet. The 
outstretched arms are very short and stumpy. It has been painted all
