﻿METALLIC 
  ORNAMENTS

  Fig. 
  171 
  also 
  suggests 
  a 
  recent 
  date, 
  having 
  the 
  shield, 
  scroll, 
  

   eagle's 
  head 
  and 
  stars. 
  This 
  also 
  is 
  imperfect, 
  and 
  came 
  from 
  Pom- 
  

   pey. 
  Fig. 
  173 
  is 
  almost 
  perfect, 
  and 
  was 
  obtained 
  at 
  Cattaraugus 
  

   by 
  Dr 
  Evarts. 
  There 
  is 
  an 
  arch 
  above 
  the 
  spread-eagle, 
  and 
  a 
  thistle 
  

   head 
  forms 
  the 
  pendant. 
  These 
  are 
  national 
  emblems 
  of 
  the 
  United 
  

   States 
  and 
  Scotland, 
  but 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  reason 
  for 
  giving 
  them 
  any 
  

   significance 
  here. 
  All 
  that 
  was 
  desired 
  was 
  a 
  pretty 
  design. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  174 
  again 
  shows 
  the 
  American 
  eagle 
  in 
  an 
  elaborate 
  way, 
  

   the 
  stars 
  appearing 
  on 
  the 
  arch 
  overhead. 
  It 
  is 
  much 
  like 
  the 
  last, 
  

   having 
  a 
  similar 
  boss 
  on 
  the 
  breast, 
  but 
  the 
  pendant 
  is 
  lacking. 
  

   This 
  was 
  found 
  long 
  ago, 
  at 
  a 
  place 
  called 
  the 
  " 
  Jumps," 
  in 
  the 
  

   town 
  of 
  Clay, 
  where 
  the 
  Onondagas 
  annually 
  met 
  to 
  renew 
  the 
  

   marks 
  of 
  the 
  extraordinary 
  leaps 
  of 
  a 
  prisoner. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  172 
  is 
  an 
  earring 
  of 
  curious 
  design, 
  obtained 
  by 
  the 
  writer 
  

   on 
  the 
  Onondaga 
  reservation. 
  The 
  elliptic 
  center 
  is 
  in 
  high 
  relief, 
  

   and 
  has 
  a 
  lower 
  notched 
  border 
  on 
  each 
  side. 
  It 
  is 
  perfect, 
  and 
  the 
  

   loop 
  for 
  attachment 
  on 
  the 
  back 
  is 
  much 
  like 
  that 
  of 
  fig. 
  185, 
  but 
  

   more 
  slender. 
  This 
  kind 
  of 
  loop 
  belongs 
  to 
  several 
  which 
  follow, 
  

   and 
  is 
  very 
  nicely 
  made. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  175 
  and 
  176 
  are 
  much 
  alike, 
  differing 
  in 
  the 
  number 
  of 
  pyri- 
  

   form 
  pendants 
  and 
  the 
  size 
  of 
  the 
  rings. 
  Fig. 
  176 
  seems 
  perfect. 
  

   Both 
  belong 
  to 
  Onondagas, 
  and 
  their 
  form 
  seems 
  rare. 
  Fig. 
  177 
  

   is 
  from 
  the 
  same 
  reservation, 
  and 
  seems 
  a 
  triangular 
  pendant 
  belong- 
  

   ing 
  to 
  a 
  large 
  earring. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  178 
  is 
  unique. 
  At 
  the 
  top 
  is 
  the 
  half 
  spherical 
  ornament 
  

   seen 
  in 
  some 
  others, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  the 
  loop 
  behind. 
  Below 
  this 
  is 
  a 
  

   columellar 
  appendage 
  with 
  three 
  angular 
  contractions 
  varying 
  the 
  

   outline. 
  It 
  belongs 
  to 
  an 
  Onondaga 
  woman. 
  Fig. 
  182 
  has 
  the 
  

   Tialf 
  spherical 
  ornament 
  just 
  mentioned, 
  with 
  the 
  usual 
  loop. 
  The 
  

   writer 
  obtained 
  this 
  pair 
  at 
  Onondaga, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  fig. 
  185, 
  which 
  is 
  

   of 
  the 
  same 
  character 
  but 
  larger. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  179 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  fine 
  earring 
  obtained 
  by 
  Mrs 
  Converse. 
  This 
  

   form 
  is 
  rarely 
  perfect. 
  There 
  are 
  bosses 
  on 
  the 
  lower 
  corners 
  of 
  

   the 
  large 
  triangle, 
  with 
  a 
  glass 
  setting 
  in 
  the 
  center. 
  Below 
  are 
  

   three 
  small 
  pendants 
  of 
  a 
  frequent 
  form. 
  Fig. 
  180 
  was 
  obtained 
  

   by 
  the 
  writer 
  at 
  Onondaga. 
  The 
  upper 
  ornament 
  frequently 
  forms
