Vessel No. 55, also a bowl of yellow ware, much the worse for ravages of 
time, has had an interior coating of red pigment that has almost entirely disap- 
peared. On the outside are traces of the usual band of red paint below the margin. 
On опе side is the 
head of an unidenti- 
fied animal with con- 
splcuous ears erect, 44 
protruding eyes, апа 
partly open mouth 
showing the teeth 
(Fig. 78). On the 
opposite side a tail 
curves first upward, 
then inward.

the neck (Fig. 79). The design varies 
somewhat from that on any other vessel 
found by us along the Arkansas river, 
though it is of the same general character. 
Partly interlocked scrolls of white and of 
red form the decoration, the scrolls hav- 
ing fenestrated ends filled with color—the 
white scrolls with red, the red scrolls with 
white. As the paint formerly on this 
bottle has been considerably worn away, 
we have attempted in the figure to show 
the design as it originally appeared, the 
dark shade representing red; a lighter 
shade showing the yellow of the ware; 
the white, of course, being represented 
without color. 
Vessel No. 156. This small vessel, 
with rounded base and square in upper, 
horizontal section, is undecorated and 18 
worthy of note only on account of its quadrangular form which, as has often 
been remarked, is unusual though of widespread occurrence.
