﻿METALLIC 
  ORNAMENTS 
  OF 
  NEW 
  YORK 
  INDIANS 
  39 
  

  

  With 
  the 
  crucifixion, 
  and 
  figures 
  seated 
  on 
  either 
  side. 
  Fig. 
  323 
  is 
  

   another 
  fine 
  ring, 
  with 
  an 
  inside 
  circle, 
  cross 
  and 
  I. 
  H. 
  S. 
  

  

  The 
  following 
  are 
  also 
  from 
  Pompey. 
  Fig. 
  327 
  is 
  a 
  large 
  and 
  

   fine 
  ring 
  from 
  a 
  grave 
  on 
  the 
  Williams 
  farm, 
  obtained 
  in 
  1886. 
  It 
  

   lias 
  the 
  cross 
  and 
  I. 
  H. 
  S., 
  but 
  in 
  rather 
  unusual 
  form. 
  Fig. 
  346 
  has 
  

   a 
  small 
  head. 
  

  

  A 
  number 
  which 
  follow 
  are 
  from 
  the 
  site 
  of 
  1677, 
  in 
  Pompey. 
  

   Fig". 
  313 
  has 
  a 
  king's 
  bust 
  and 
  scepter. 
  It 
  is 
  large. 
  Fig. 
  326 
  is 
  also 
  

   large, 
  and 
  has 
  the 
  I. 
  H. 
  S. 
  and 
  cross. 
  Fig. 
  335 
  has 
  a 
  large 
  heart 
  

   poised 
  on 
  a 
  curved 
  base, 
  and 
  with 
  a 
  border 
  of 
  curving 
  lines. 
  Fig. 
  

   336 
  is 
  a 
  smaller 
  variant 
  of 
  the 
  last, 
  but 
  the 
  ring 
  proper 
  is 
  more 
  elabo- 
  

   rate. 
  Fig. 
  341 
  is 
  of 
  gold 
  and 
  has 
  the 
  Greek 
  monogram 
  for 
  Christ. 
  

   This 
  is 
  unique. 
  Fig. 
  345 
  has 
  a 
  St 
  Andrew's 
  cross 
  within 
  a 
  circle, 
  and 
  

   with 
  dots 
  between. 
  Fig. 
  348 
  has 
  characters 
  of 
  uncertain 
  meaning, 
  

   and 
  the 
  same 
  may 
  be 
  said 
  of 
  fig. 
  350. 
  Fig. 
  357 
  represents 
  the 
  

   crucifixion. 
  This 
  site 
  has 
  yielded 
  so 
  many 
  rings 
  and 
  crosses 
  as 
  to 
  

   suggest 
  the 
  thought 
  that 
  the 
  Christian 
  converts 
  might 
  have 
  made 
  it 
  

   their 
  home. 
  

  

  Of 
  course 
  Indian 
  hill, 
  the 
  seat 
  of 
  the 
  first 
  Onondaga 
  mission, 
  

   would 
  not 
  lack 
  articles 
  of 
  this 
  kind; 
  and 
  a 
  number 
  follow 
  from 
  the 
  

   Onondaga 
  fort 
  of 
  1654. 
  Fig. 
  318 
  has 
  a 
  full 
  face 
  and 
  a 
  large 
  key. 
  

   Fig. 
  322 
  has 
  the 
  I. 
  H. 
  S. 
  and 
  cross 
  while 
  the 
  ring 
  part 
  is 
  quite 
  

   elaborate. 
  Fig. 
  328 
  is 
  small, 
  with 
  I. 
  H. 
  S. 
  and 
  the 
  cross. 
  There 
  is 
  

   a 
  border 
  of 
  dots 
  or 
  stars. 
  Fig. 
  332 
  has 
  a 
  rather 
  rude 
  seal, 
  and 
  is 
  

   small. 
  The 
  large 
  L 
  is 
  not 
  well 
  done, 
  and 
  there 
  may 
  be 
  a 
  rude 
  crown 
  

   above 
  it. 
  There 
  is 
  a 
  small 
  heart 
  and 
  the 
  ring 
  part 
  is 
  elaborate. 
  Fig. 
  

   340 
  has 
  a 
  small 
  seal 
  with 
  a 
  medium 
  sized 
  heart 
  resting 
  on 
  the 
  usual 
  

   b>ase. 
  Fig. 
  342 
  has 
  lines 
  of 
  indefinite 
  character. 
  Some 
  may 
  be 
  in- 
  

   tended 
  for 
  palms. 
  Fig. 
  344 
  is 
  a 
  peculiar 
  silver 
  ring. 
  The 
  central 
  

   portion 
  is 
  a 
  quatrefoil, 
  intersected 
  by 
  a 
  four 
  pointed 
  star. 
  In 
  the 
  

   center 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  ends 
  of 
  the 
  quatrefoil 
  are 
  either 
  pearls 
  or 
  small 
  

   lustrous 
  stones, 
  some 
  remaining. 
  It 
  is 
  of 
  very 
  unusual 
  character. 
  

   Fig. 
  349 
  has 
  characters 
  suggestive 
  of 
  a 
  Greek 
  monogram. 
  Fig. 
  351 
  

   also 
  lacks 
  definiteness, 
  but 
  was 
  probably 
  intended 
  for 
  a 
  large 
  heart 
  

   with 
  inclosing 
  lines. 
  Fig. 
  353 
  has 
  a 
  design 
  suggesting 
  either 
  a 
  cup 
  

   or 
  paten, 
  perhaps 
  with 
  a 
  crown 
  above. 
  Fig. 
  356 
  has 
  a 
  good 
  figure
