PLATE LXVI. 



Pottery from the Moqui Pueblos. Nos. 1, 2, and 3 are spoons or 

 ladles from Gualpi, decorated in black and red upon a yellowish-white 

 surface. No. 4 is a double jug with an interior connection, found in 

 T^gua, but supposed, however, to have come from Zuni. No. 6 is a gourd- 

 like jug, from Gualpi. No. 5 is a dipper, in imitation of a gourd, from 

 Sechumevay. The handle is hollow, and is used in lieu of a funnel; 

 after filling the bowl with water it is emptied through this handle into 

 the narrow necks of the water jars (see Fig. 2, Plate LXIX). 



PLATE LXVII. 



Basket work, and wooden images, or idols from the Moqui villages of 

 Gualpi and Sechumevay. The conventionalized human face and figure 

 which appears on the l3asket, occurs frequently in other forms in the 

 decorative art of the Moquis. 



PLATE LXVIII. 



Zuiiian Pottery. The art of molding earthen vessels in the shape 

 of owls, ducks, and other animal forms familiar to them, seems to be 

 confined almost exclusively to the Indians in the Pueblo of ZuiLi. 



PLATE LXIX. 



Zuiiian Pottery. Nos. 1, 3, 4, and 6 are in imitation of various do- 

 mestic fowls. No. 2 is a miniature model, decorated, of the kind of 

 water-jar in use among the Moquis. They are in the form of a sphere, 

 with a capacity of about six gallons, flattened slightly on one side, with 

 a narrow bottle-like mouth. On either side are two small rings or 

 handles, through which is passed a small shawl or like piece of cloth^ 

 long enough to pass over the forehead and to suspend the jar against 

 the back just below the shoulders. This mode of carrying water is ren- 

 dered necessary by the precipitous nature of the pathways that lead to 

 their springs. All the other Pueblo Indians carry their water in large, 

 wide-mouthed jars, upon their heads. No. 5 is a common form of pot- 

 tery among the Zunians, both with and without handles. 



PLATE LXX. 



Zuiiiau Pottery, representing an owl, an eagle, and a duck. The 

 pieces shown in this and the preceding plate were loaned for the pur- 

 pose of illustration, by Dr. J. Y. Lauderdale, post surgeon at Fort Win- 

 gate, who found them at Zuiii. 



PLATE LXXI. 



The central figure is a small olla, or water- vessel, such as are in use 

 among the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico for carrying water upon their 

 heads. The under side of the jar has a concavity which fits the con- 

 vexity of the head. Small pads or cushions are also made for the same 

 end. The two bowls are of Moqui manufacture, from T6gua. Moqui 

 pottery is generally inferior to that of the other pueblos, being more 

 porous, and lacking that compactness and ringing quality that is notice- 

 able in the ancient ware, and in that which is made in Laguna and 

 some of the other pueblos. In decorative ability, however, they are not 

 at 0.11 inferior to the others.
