296 ANTIQUITIES OF THE ST. FRANCIS, WHITE, 
now in the Cincinnati Art Museum ;! one from the Fortune Mound, now in Peabody 
Museum, Cambridge, Mass., and two found by us in the Rose Mound. 
The one now under description came from a grave that had been disturbed in 
aboriginal times, and the vessels present with the burial had been broken and parts 
of them presumably had been thrown out. At all events, fragments of this head 
vessel, which had been badly shattered, were found widely scattered in the ground, 
Ете. 25.—Vessel No. 469. Rose Mound. (Height 8.75 inches.) 
and some parts we were unable to recover, although long search was made with the 
aid of a sieve and by passing the soil through the hands of a number of men. 
Fortunately only such parts of the vessel are missing as belong to the back of the 
head, and to a part of the side of the head, including the right ear. Almost none 
of that part of the vessel shown in the plate is a restoration. The face has had a 
coating of pigment, evidently gray clay, much of which still remains on it. The 
back of the head has had a uniform coating of red pigment. At the outer side of
