612 SOME ABORIGINAL SITES ON RED RIVER. 
Vessel No. 245. This vessel (Fig. 109), almost a hopeless wreck when found, 
and whose fragments were mingled with those of several other vessels, has been, 
after very protracted effort, put together with slight restoration. The form is 
compound—a bowl resting on another bowl. The decorations, incised, are common 
to the region, that of the lower vessel having the line-work filled in with white 
pigment, while red pigment is in the line-work of the upper vessel. . | 
Another vessel (considerable parts of which are missing) exactly like this one 
save that the placing of the pigment in the lines is reversed, the red being below 
and the white above, was found with Vessel No. 245. 
Ета. 110.— Vessel No. 38, Foster Place, Ark. (Height 4.8 inches.) 
Vessel No. 38. This vessel (Fig. 110) of fine black ware, has a compound 
form—a bowl set on the opening of a pot. The decoration, incised, which is on the 
exterior upper part only, has been filled in with white pigment. The handles, 
which confer a graceful effect, are about 5 inches in length and are for adornment 
solely as the perforations in them are but partial. 
Vessel No. 128. In Fig. 111 is shown a bowl from which part is missing. 
The incised and punctate decoration has been filled in with white pigment, much 
of which remains. There is, on one side (and doubtless a similar one was present 
on the opposite side) a figure of a quadruped modeled in relief, The tail is missing. 
Vessel No. 242. This bottle (Plate XLIV), a gem of the potters’ art, quadri- 
lateral, of highly-polished, black ware, bears a carefully-executed design in which 
the sun-symbol has a prominent part. The line-work has been filled in with red 
pigment which remains in almost perfect condition. This beautiful bottle, without 
a blemish of any kind, was found under favorable conditions, it having been placed 
alone in one part of the grave some distance above the burial.
