66 MEMOIRS OF THE CARNEGIE MUSEUM 
the eye-pits are often united by a linear transverse groove, as in Pl. XX XIII, Figs. 
9 and 12, and Pl. XXXIII, Fig. 6. In Pl. XX XIII, Figs. 4 and 5, two circular 
rings are made with a hollow drill and the core-marks serve as the pupils. In PI. 
XXXIII, Figs. 6, 7, and 10, and Pl. XXXIV, Figs. 19 and 20, each of the eyes is 
formed simply by one to three short, parallel, horizontal grooves, and in Pl. XX XIII, 
Fig. 3, and Pl. XXXIV, Fig. 5, the pupil is added by means of a circular hole 
drilled in the center of the groove. Pl. XXXIV, Fig. 2, shows one of the few faces 
with the curved eyebrows plainly marked. 
Most of the figures have the front of the head adorned with a decorated band 
for keeping up the hair, or they have an elaborate head-dress. The hair-band is 
prevalently decorated with a herring-bone or criss-cross design. The head-dress 
usually takes the shape of two opposing more or less conventionalized animal (alli- 
gator) heads seen in profile, the body being common. On the celts brought together 
on Pl. XXXIV, Figs. | to 9, the gradual transformation of the two animal heads 
into two insignificant knobs is demonstrated. Compare also on Pl. XX XVIII the 
representations of the alligators with their characteristic upturned noses. 
Regarding the position of the arms it may be observed that, while the arms from 
the shoulder to the elbow are always represented as placed parallel to the body, the 
fore-arms are represented as horizontal, either with the hands meeting on the abdo- 
men or one placed a little above the other, in such a manner that the right hand 
is seen on the left side and vice versa. In the latter case Dr. Fischer in the work 
on Costa Rican stone implements above quoted infers that the attitude indicates 
the peculiar way of reverentially bowing which is customary among certain peoples. 
Only rarely do the arms cross each other on the breast as in Pl. XXXIII, Fig. 
17, Pl. XXXV, Fig. 16, and Pl. XLII, Pig: 2, Ina few cases, as in PP XXII 
Figs. 10 and 12, and Pl. XX XV, Fig. 12, the forearms are held against the breast, 
and in Pl. XX XIII, Figs. 11 and 18, and Pl. XXXIV, Fig. 8, they are stretched 
up toward the armpits. In Pl. XX XIII, Fig. 15, there is one of the few excep- 
tional cases representing a man holding the right hand up against the breast, and 
XXXII, Figs. 14 and 16, show figures holding the left hand in the same position. 
In Pl. XXXV, Fig. 13, the almost monkey-like figure seems to grasp some small 
object in each hand. ‘The fingers are always indicated by straight parallel incised 
lines. The nipples of the breast are very seldom marked, as is the case in PI. 
XXXII, Fig. 4. None of the figures have the sex indicated. 
A circular amulet or ornament for the breast is shown in Fig. 5, on Pl. XX XIII, 
and a necklace adorns Fig. 6 on the same plate. 
There is a small group of anthropomorphic celtsjupon which are sculptured not
