  dots 
  signify 
  clay, 
  sun 
  and 
  moon, 
  or 
  the 
  journey, 
  the 
  rest 
  and 
  the 
  

   start.'' 
  This 
  does 
  not 
  agree 
  with 
  the 
  interpretation 
  of 
  fig. 
  148. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  105 
  can 
  hardly 
  be 
  considered 
  Indian 
  work, 
  though 
  obtained 
  

   from 
  an 
  Onondaga. 
  There 
  is 
  the 
  familiar 
  heart, 
  with 
  some 
  worn 
  

   ornament 
  at 
  the 
  end, 
  but 
  the 
  pelican 
  above 
  shows 
  a 
  white 
  man's 
  

   taste 
  and 
  thought. 
  As 
  far 
  as 
  known, 
  it 
  is 
  unique. 
  Fig. 
  147 
  is 
  a 
  fine 
  

   cordate 
  brooch, 
  with 
  a 
  crown 
  resembling 
  in 
  a 
  general 
  way 
  that 
  in 
  

   fig. 
  146, 
  but 
  of 
  a 
  more 
  elegant 
  design. 
  This 
  has 
  a 
  little 
  surface 
  

   decoration. 
  Fig. 
  149 
  is 
  cordate, 
  with 
  another 
  form 
  of 
  crown, 
  where 
  

   circles 
  replace 
  the 
  frequent 
  points. 
  Fig. 
  151 
  is 
  cordate, 
  and 
  has 
  

   the 
  rounded 
  crown 
  with 
  basal 
  points. 
  Several 
  of 
  these 
  differ 
  little 
  

   except 
  in 
  the 
  apertures. 
  

  

  Some 
  belonging 
  to 
  Onondagas 
  follow. 
  Fig. 
  83 
  is 
  a 
  large 
  brooch 
  

   formerly 
  worn 
  by 
  Aunt 
  Susannah. 
  It 
  is 
  of 
  a 
  kite 
  or 
  diamond 
  shape, 
  

   with 
  ornamental 
  edges 
  and 
  tracery. 
  Fig. 
  102 
  has 
  a 
  generally 
  cor- 
  

   date 
  form 
  and 
  a 
  suggestion 
  of 
  the 
  crown 
  above. 
  It 
  is 
  quite 
  a 
  de- 
  

   parture 
  from 
  the 
  typical 
  form, 
  but 
  the 
  resemblance 
  will 
  at 
  once 
  be 
  

   seen, 
  as 
  in 
  other 
  cases. 
  There 
  are 
  projections 
  at 
  the 
  sides 
  and 
  base. 
  

   Fig. 
  103 
  has 
  much 
  the 
  same 
  character, 
  but 
  has 
  tracery 
  and 
  circular 
  

   apertures. 
  Fig. 
  104 
  is 
  intermediate 
  between 
  these 
  two. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  137 
  has 
  the 
  heart 
  with 
  a 
  conventional 
  and 
  elaborate 
  crown. 
  

   The 
  base 
  curves 
  to 
  one 
  side, 
  and 
  an 
  eagle's 
  head 
  may 
  have 
  worn 
  

   away. 
  Fig. 
  140 
  the 
  writer 
  had 
  from 
  Onondaga. 
  In 
  the 
  center 
  of 
  

   the 
  crown 
  and 
  on 
  either 
  side 
  are 
  sharp 
  projections. 
  Mrs 
  Converse 
  

   thought 
  these 
  crowns 
  with 
  apertures 
  were 
  intended 
  for 
  owls' 
  heads, 
  

   to 
  which 
  they 
  bear 
  a 
  curious 
  resemblance. 
  

  

  Some 
  Tuscarora 
  forms 
  of 
  this 
  class 
  follow. 
  Fig. 
  93 
  is 
  of 
  a 
  general 
  

   diamond 
  form, 
  with 
  undulating 
  edges 
  and 
  four 
  bosses 
  in 
  the 
  margin. 
  

   There 
  are 
  several 
  apertures 
  and 
  some 
  tracery. 
  Fig. 
  150 
  is 
  quite 
  

   broad 
  for 
  its 
  size, 
  and 
  is 
  a 
  double 
  heart 
  surmounted 
  by 
  a 
  low 
  crown. 
  

   The 
  basal 
  point 
  curves 
  to 
  one 
  side. 
  

  

  The 
  following 
  illustrations 
  of 
  this 
  class 
  are 
  of 
  brooches 
  from 
  the 
  

   Allegany 
  reservation. 
  Fig. 
  97 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  simple 
  cordate 
  example, 
  

   with 
  the 
  base 
  turned 
  to 
  one 
  side. 
  The 
  metal 
  forms 
  a 
  narrow 
  band 
  all 
  

   around 
  the 
  broad 
  aperture. 
  Fig. 
  141 
  has 
  the 
  frequent 
  combination 
  

   of 
  heart 
  and 
  crown, 
  the 
  latter 
  having 
  sharp 
  projections 
  on 
  each 
  side,
