CERTAIN MOUNDS OF ARKANSAS AND OF MISSISSIPPI. 511 
some broken by the plow. Some burials were without artifacts, while as many as 
four vessels lay with one interment. a water-bottle having been placed on top of 
three small, shallow bowls, arranged one above the other. 
Vessel No. 5, of yellow ware, is a bowl with a bird's head on one side, and a 
conventional tail on the other. Тһе only point of interest about this vessel is that 
the crest of the bird is represented by excisions, an unusual method (Fig. 27). 
Vessel No. 7 is a small bowl with the head of a frog extending forward from 
it, and fore-legs and hind-legs modeled in relief. 
Fig. 27.— Vessel No. 5. Near Sawyer's Landing. (Diameter 8.75 inches.) 
The aboriginal artist has not been trammeled by details, as the fore-feet of 
the frog are represented with three toes each and the hind-feet each with four toes 
—one too few in each case, as the reader is doubtless aware.
