  sides 
  having 
  indentations. 
  The 
  sides 
  proper 
  consist 
  of 
  two 
  bars, 
  

   •concave 
  in 
  outline, 
  uniting 
  so 
  as 
  to 
  form 
  a 
  broader, 
  ornamented 
  

   surface 
  at 
  each 
  angle. 
  The 
  buckle 
  crosses 
  from 
  point 
  to 
  point. 
  

   Those 
  represented 
  are 
  all 
  from 
  the 
  Onondaga 
  and 
  Tonawanda 
  

   reservations. 
  One 
  unique 
  form 
  is 
  not 
  described. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  164 
  is 
  the 
  smallest 
  the 
  writer 
  has 
  seen. 
  The 
  angles 
  are 
  

   ornamented 
  with 
  lines 
  and 
  small 
  circles. 
  Fig. 
  163 
  is 
  the 
  largest 
  

   in 
  his 
  collection, 
  and 
  may 
  be 
  as 
  large 
  as 
  any. 
  The 
  surface 
  orna- 
  

   ments 
  are 
  like 
  the 
  last, 
  but 
  the 
  divisions 
  of 
  the 
  angles 
  are 
  more 
  

   protuberant 
  than 
  usual. 
  Fig. 
  161 
  has 
  surface 
  ornamentation 
  nearly 
  

   all 
  over. 
  Fig. 
  162 
  is 
  plainer. 
  Fig. 
  165 
  and 
  167 
  have 
  both 
  bars 
  

   ornamented, 
  but 
  not 
  the 
  angles. 
  They 
  are 
  among 
  the 
  handsomest 
  

   collected. 
  Fig. 
  166 
  is 
  much 
  like 
  these, 
  but 
  the 
  angles 
  are 
  orna- 
  

   mented. 
  

  

  The 
  writer 
  has 
  a 
  few 
  simple 
  silver 
  brooches, 
  which 
  are 
  open 
  and 
  

   •almost 
  as 
  slender 
  as 
  those 
  which 
  are 
  simple 
  rings 
  or 
  round 
  buckles, 
  

   Dut 
  they 
  are 
  angular. 
  Fig. 
  134 
  shows 
  one 
  of 
  these 
  which 
  is 
  square, 
  

   but 
  with 
  the 
  angles 
  rounded. 
  The 
  tongue 
  of 
  the 
  buckle 
  reaches 
  

   from 
  one 
  of 
  these 
  to 
  that 
  opposite. 
  Fig. 
  135 
  is 
  a 
  similar 
  one 
  which 
  

   has 
  the 
  angles 
  indented. 
  

  

  The 
  Onondagas 
  call 
  the 
  brooch 
  Ah-ten-ha-nc-sah, 
  shining 
  orna- 
  

   ment. 
  

  

  Headbands 
  

  

  The 
  silver 
  headband 
  is 
  a 
  long 
  strip 
  of 
  sheet 
  silver, 
  straight 
  on 
  

   the 
  lower 
  edge 
  but 
  usually 
  with 
  points 
  of 
  some 
  kind 
  on 
  the 
  upper, 
  

   and 
  with 
  some 
  pretty 
  pattern 
  between. 
  The 
  Onondagas 
  call 
  these 
  

   Ta-yone-non-aich-han-hitst'-ah. 
  The 
  whole 
  headdress, 
  which 
  once 
  

   often 
  included 
  this, 
  was 
  called 
  Gos-to-weh 
  by 
  the 
  Senecas. 
  Part 
  of 
  

   this, 
  as 
  given 
  by 
  Morgan, 
  but 
  without 
  feathers, 
  is 
  shown 
  in 
  fig. 
  157. 
  

   Quite 
  commonly, 
  however, 
  the 
  headband 
  encircled 
  an 
  ordinary 
  hat, 
  

   and 
  in 
  this 
  way 
  the 
  writer 
  has 
  seen 
  several 
  used 
  by 
  one 
  person, 
  one 
  

   "being 
  placed 
  above 
  another. 
  Usually 
  the 
  wearer 
  had 
  but 
  one, 
  

   which 
  served 
  as 
  a 
  foundation 
  for 
  other 
  ornaments. 
  They 
  were 
  

   secured 
  by 
  strings 
  in 
  the 
  holes 
  at 
  the 
  ends. 
  

  

  They 
  are 
  now 
  difficult 
  to 
  obtain. 
  The 
  writer's 
  inquiries 
  on 
  sev- 
  

   eral 
  reservations 
  have 
  been 
  unsuccessful, 
  nor 
  can 
  they 
  now 
  be 
  

   found 
  among 
  the 
  Iroquois 
  of 
  Canada. 
  That 
  the 
  State 
  Museum 
  

   has 
  now 
  several 
  of 
  these 
  rare 
  articles 
  is 
  due 
  to 
  the 
  intelligent 
  zeal
