band of red pigment on both sides, extend- 
ing somewhat below the rim. In the in- 
terior are four series of double, crescentic 
bands executed in red paint. Centrally, 
is a frog shown in red paint, the represent- 
ation of which, however, is somewhat 
marred through the effect of heat, the out- 
side of the vessel and the central part of 
the interior having been discolored by fire. 
It is interesting to note that a vessel 
found by Doctor Hough! in northeastern 
Arizona, bears a frog painted on the base of 
the interior. “Тһе frog is a symbol of 
water," says Doctor Hough, **and its sym- 
bolic use is widely diffused in the Pueblo 
region, carved in shell, formed in clay, 
worked in turquoise mosaic or painted on 
pottery." 
The frog shown by Doctor Hough is 
tailless, while the frog on the vessel from 
Greer bears a well-developed tail.
