  three 
  circular 
  apertures 
  in 
  the 
  crown, 
  and 
  some 
  surface 
  decoration. 
  

   Usually 
  the 
  lower 
  aperture 
  has 
  a 
  double 
  curve, 
  to 
  emphasize 
  the 
  

   cordate 
  form. 
  Fig. 
  142 
  has 
  the 
  feature 
  mentioned, 
  but 
  is 
  otherwise 
  

   much 
  like 
  the 
  last. 
  Fig. 
  143 
  differs 
  in 
  having 
  a 
  projection 
  in 
  the 
  

   upper 
  circles, 
  thus 
  giving 
  each 
  of 
  those 
  apertures 
  a 
  crescent 
  form. 
  

   Fig. 
  145 
  has 
  the 
  heart 
  with 
  the 
  point 
  turned 
  to 
  one 
  side, 
  and 
  the 
  

   highly 
  conventionalized 
  crown. 
  Like 
  fig. 
  137, 
  the 
  latter 
  has 
  no 
  

   central 
  projection. 
  The 
  surface 
  is 
  covered 
  with 
  tracery. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  138 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  Richmond 
  collection, 
  and 
  is 
  a 
  rare 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  

   heart 
  and 
  crown 
  brooch. 
  Both 
  lower 
  sides 
  have 
  strong 
  cross 
  cor- 
  

   rugations, 
  and 
  the 
  crown 
  has 
  a 
  finely 
  crenulated 
  border, 
  as 
  well 
  a3 
  

   the 
  frequent 
  three 
  projections. 
  In 
  the 
  crown 
  are 
  four 
  circular 
  

   apertures. 
  

  

  Two 
  are 
  shown 
  from 
  the 
  Cattaraugus 
  reservation. 
  Fig. 
  139 
  has 
  

   the 
  usual 
  combination 
  of 
  heart 
  and 
  crown, 
  the 
  two> 
  upper 
  apertures 
  

   having 
  the 
  crescent 
  form. 
  Fig. 
  144 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  neatest 
  examples 
  

   the 
  writer 
  has 
  seen. 
  The 
  apertures 
  are 
  so 
  formed 
  as 
  to 
  bring 
  out 
  

   the 
  outlines 
  in 
  the 
  most 
  graceful 
  way. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  98 
  is 
  a 
  remarkable 
  Tuscarora 
  brooch, 
  linking 
  this 
  type 
  to 
  

   the 
  common 
  lyre 
  forms, 
  not 
  long 
  since 
  so 
  abundant. 
  It 
  is 
  large, 
  

   and 
  has 
  the 
  usual 
  lyre 
  base 
  and 
  sides, 
  but, 
  instead 
  of 
  expanding, 
  it 
  

   contracts 
  at 
  the 
  top 
  as 
  in 
  cordate 
  forms. 
  Fig. 
  125 
  is 
  another 
  small 
  

   and 
  odd 
  Tuscarora 
  brooch, 
  which 
  is 
  somewhat 
  contracted 
  at 
  the 
  

   top, 
  and 
  unusually 
  expanded 
  at 
  the 
  base, 
  where 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  short 
  

   projection 
  on 
  each 
  side. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  128 
  is 
  a 
  large 
  lyre-shaped 
  brooch 
  in 
  Mrs 
  Converse's 
  collec- 
  

   tion, 
  on 
  which 
  she 
  makes 
  this 
  note: 
  "Uncommon. 
  Found 
  in 
  

   Canada. 
  Two 
  hearts 
  surmounted 
  by 
  a 
  crown, 
  symbolizing 
  friend- 
  

   ship." 
  This 
  one 
  is 
  unusually 
  large, 
  but 
  the 
  general 
  type 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  

   the 
  commonest 
  on 
  the 
  New 
  York 
  reservations. 
  The 
  writer 
  has 
  seen 
  

   large 
  numbers 
  of 
  them; 
  and, 
  when 
  Major 
  F. 
  H. 
  Furniss 
  was 
  adopted 
  

   by 
  the 
  Senecas 
  in 
  1885, 
  his 
  future 
  Seneca 
  mother 
  placed 
  a 
  long 
  black 
  

   ribbon 
  around 
  his 
  neck, 
  on 
  which 
  were 
  34 
  silver 
  brooches 
  of 
  what 
  

   the 
  writer 
  calls 
  the 
  lyre 
  pattern. 
  This 
  had 
  belonged 
  to 
  Red 
  Jacket's 
  

   wife, 
  according 
  to 
  tradition. 
  The 
  necklace 
  was 
  considerably 
  over 
  

   three 
  feet 
  long, 
  and 
  the 
  brooches 
  were 
  about 
  an 
  inch 
  long 
  and 
  f 
  of
