dimensions vary exceedingly. Those used in cooking for feasts are quite
large, sometimes with a capacity of about ten gallons; the smallest,
designed only for family use, are less than four inches in diameter and
not quite three inches high. They are of two general forms, one similar
to the ordinary pots used on cooking stoves, the other bowl-shaped. Two
specimens in the collection are provided with legs; to these the Zunians
apply the name _s[ae]-m[-u] y[)e]n-s[ae]-qui-p[ae]_. See Fig. 432. As a
general rule, the rims of these vessels are flared, and on some of them,
close to the rim on the outside, are ear-like projections, which are
probably intended as catches by which, with pokers or sticks, they can
be removed from or arranged in position on the fire. They are never
ornamented, and have no coloring other than that which is acquired in
baking. These vessels are used in cooking such foods as contain liquids.
Three names are applied to cooking pots, having reference to size,
viz.: _p[ae]h-t[-e]h-le_ is the large cylindrical pot; the smaller
pot of the same form is _p[ae]h-t[-e]hl-ts[-a]n-n[-a]_; and
_w[-a]h-li-[ae]h-k[ae]-t[-e]hl-le_ is the common cooking pot. The
Olla or bowl-shaped pot, Fig. 433, is called _s[ae]-m[-u]-y[-e]n_.
The following numbers belong to the _p[ae]h-t[-e]hl-ts[-a]n-n[-a]_ group
and present no variations worthy of special notice.
742, 743. 742, (41113). Fig. 436; 743, (41114), Fig. 433. These
illustrations represent a form and have the appearance of the so-called
ancient ware; the latter specimen bears the impress of the grass which
was produced in the baking process.
744. (40865). Fig. 435. Cooking pot.
The following numbers represent specimens of cooking pots of varying
sizes, though generally small and of the form of No. 744, though some
few present the appearance of bowls:

(41133); 825, (41139); 826, (41143). This is an unburnt specimen of
unusual form, resembling in this respect a sugar bowl, its margin and
sides undulated.
827, 828. 827, (40853), bowl-shaped with conical bottom; 828, (41053),
Fig. 432, pot-shaped, but with four legs.
829, 830. 829, (41134); 830, (41135), are really pitchers, as will be
seen by reference to Fig. 431, which represents the latter, but they
appear to be made for cooking purposes, as they are designated by the
name _s[ae]-m[-u]-y[)e]n_.
_LADLES._
Called by the Zunians _sa-sho-k[)o]n-ne_. These are of two forms, one
resembling somewhat an oyster-shell, the other with a handle resembling
a spoon. The forms and decorations are shown in the figures. They are of
white ware usually with figures on the inner surface, and of red ware
without ornamentation. They vary in size from eight inches in length and
five inches across the bowl to four and a half and two and a half
inches.
831-839. 831, (39884); 832, (39894), Fig. 438; 833, (40430); 834,
(40431); 835, (40432), flower in the bowl; 836, (40433); 837, (40460);
838, (40461); 839, (41254). With handles.
840-841. 840, (39895); 841, (39896), figures of elks in the bowl.
Without handles.
842. (39929).
843, 844. 843, (40408) scrolls; 844, (40417), Fig. 440.
845, 846. 845, (40418); 846, (40419), this has a pretty marginal band,
and the figure of a slender bird in the bowl.
847-851. 847, (40420); 848, (40421); 849, (40422), Fig. 439; 450,

_BASKETS._
Called by the Zunians, _[-a]h-w[-e]hl-wi-[-a]h-p[ae]-s[-a]hl_. These
vessels, which vary in size from four to eight inches in diameter and
from two to five in depth, are in the form of bowls, sometimes with a
handle over the top like a basket handle, sometimes without. The margin
is either scalloped, as in Fig. 452, or terraced so as to resemble the
section of a pyramid or pueblo, being cut in this form with a horse-hair
while soft. They are always of white ware decorated with black. The
margin is uniformly black, and there is often an inner and outer
submarginal narrow band following the undulations or terraces. The
figures most common, and in fact almost exclusively used, are those
resembling tadpoles, but which, as I learned, are intended to represent
a small crustacean or the larva of an insect common in the water-pools
and streams of the Zuni country; and the somewhat grotesque figures of
the horned toad (_Phrynosoma_). These figures are placed both on the
outer and inner surfaces, though the figure of the reptile is generally
found on the outer.
These singular vessels are used by the Indians only in their sacred and
ceremonial dances. In them is placed a small quantity of meal; they are
then borne in the hands of the women, who, during the dance, take a
small quantity of the meal, just as much as they can hold between the
tips of the fingers, and sprinkle it on the sacred objects and on the
heads of the persons leading in the ceremonies.
As the forms and decorations are correctly shown in the figures, I shall
only notice those which are unusual.
Without handles; margin scalloped:
871-873. 871, (40074); 872, (40075), Fig. 443; 873, (40400), Fig. 444.
Without handles; margin terraced:
874. (40337). Figures of insects on outer surface.
875-881. 875, (40344); 876, (40364); 877, (40367); 878, (40368); 879,
(40369); 880, (40370); 881, (40371), Fig. 445.
882-899. 882, (40372), Fig. 447; 883, (40373); 884, (40374); 885,
(40375); 886, (40376); 887, (40377), Fig. 446; 888, (40378); 889,
(40380); 890, (40381); 891, (40382); 892, (40383); 893, (40384); 894,
(40385); 895, (40392); 896, (40393); 897, (40394); 898, (40396); 899,
(40803), this specimen, which is but slightly burnt, is more globular
in form than usual, and has mounted on each pyramid a small image,
one human, one of a dog or fox, one of a chicken, and the other
probably intended for a bird. This is really not a meal basket,
but is carried in the dance for rain, and bears the name
_tkh[ae]-p[-o]-k[-a]-t[-e]hl-le_.
900-902. 900, (41014); 901, (41015), this has in the place of the
reptile the figure of a bird; 902, (41018).
903. (39971). Fig. 442. A Zuni clay basket without handles; the form of
the margin and inner decorations are unusual, and on this account and
the fact that the little water animal does not appear on it, it is
probably from some other tribe, though obtained at Zuni.
904. (40354). Fig. 452. With handles; margin scalloped. The decorations
on this basket are unusual. The chief figure and the most interesting
one on this entire group of pottery is that of a snake encircling the
body of the basket; on the head of which is a feather crest.
905. (41019). Fig. 449. A Zuni dance basket, one of the most complete in
form and decoration in the collection.
906-909. 906, (40356), Fig. 450; 907, (40390); 908, (40391); 909,
(40806). This is more cup shaped than usual, and is ornamented
with the geometrical figures common on bowls. It belongs to
a distinct class of sacred vessels to which the name
_tkh[ae]-p[-o]-k[-a]-t[-e]hl-le_ is applied.
910-913. 910, (40336); 911, (40353); 912, (40355), Fig. 451; 913,
(40357), varies in having the head of a bird. With handles; margins
terraced.
914-922. 914, (40358); 915, (40360); 916, (40361); 917, (40362);
918, (40365); 919, (40366); 920, (40359), Fig. 448; 921, (40379),
Fig. 453; 922, (40386). This and the three following specimens
are small baskets called by the Zunians
_[-a]h'-w[-e]hl-wi-[-a]h-p[ae]-s[-a]hl-ts[-a]n-n[-a]_.
923-928. 923, (40387); 924, (40388); 925, (40389); 926, (40395). This
and the two following bear the same figures as observed on Fig. 452.
927, (40397); 928, (40398).
929. (40399). This basket is ornamented with the conventional little
water animal, inside and out; it also presents the head and tail of a
snake, the body of which encircles the base of the basket. The head of
the snake is decorated with a crest and a horn-like projection
immediately before the eyes. The tongue and teeth are also represented
in colors on the specimen. The rim is serrated and painted black with
a small line conforming to the black band immediately under it.
930. (41016). Is without a handle, but noticeable for the representation
of a bird, on each side of which are two of the little water animals.
931. (41017). Basket without handle and four pyramids with serrated
edges, and representation of horned toad on sides.
932. (41019). Basket with handle, large toad on each side, and a
dragonfly on each side of the toad.
_PAINT CUPS._
These are always small, but vary in size from one and a half to three
inches in height. They are usually in the form of water vases or
globular jars, though sometimes of a true cup shape, and occasionally
cubical. They are generally single, but quite often double, and
occasionally triple and quadruple. To the large-sized single ones the
Zunians apply the name of _h[)e]l-i-p[-o]-k[-a]-t[-e]hl-le_; and to
those of smaller sizes, _h[)e]l-i-p[-o]-k[-a]-t[-e]hl-ts[-a]n-n[-a]_.
They are usually without handles, but sometimes these are present. The
double ones are connected only by a bar extending from the body of one
to that of the other; and the triple and quadruple ones in a similar
manner. They are of red and white ware like the other pottery; the
decorations on the white are similar to those already described, so far
as they can be adapted to these small articles.
We shall give the numbers without remarks, except to note unusual forms
and figures.
Single cups:
933-938. 933, (39881); 934, (39888); 935, (39938); 936, (39939); 937,

_CONDIMENT CUPS._
These are similar in form and decorations to the paint cups, and are
also round and square, single, double, and quadruple. They are usually
small, holding from less than half a pint to a pint. The different names
applied to them will be given as they are reached in the list. The
double and quadruple ones are connected together in the same manner as
the multiple paint-pots,
Single cups:
1030. (39878). Square with figures of chickens on the sides.
_M[-a]-p[-o]-k[-a]-t[-e]hl-le_ is the name by which the round or
vase-shaped vessels are designated. They are numbered as follows:
1031. (39905). Fig. 459. The figures on this specimen appear to be
intended as representations of some neuropterous insect, but possibly
they represent birds.
1032-1037. 1032, (40653); 1033, (40654); 1034, (40655); 1035, (40656);
1036, (40657); 1037, (40658). Some of these appear, from the fragments
of bars attached to them, to have belonged to double specimens.
1038, 1039. 1038, (40633); 1039, (40832). These two are red ware.

1048, (40606); and 1049, (40664), are square.
Double cups:
The round form has the same name as the single salt cup, but the square
pattern is named _M[-a]'-p[-o]-k[-a]-thl[-e]-l[-o]-ne_. The following
specimens belong to the latter class:
1050-1057. 1050, (39900); 1051, (39901); 1052, (40416); 1053, (40604);
1054, (40662); brown 1055, (40683); 1056, (40831); 1057, (40661).

_EFFIGIES._
These figures, which are of small size, the largest not exceeding one
foot in length, are quite rude, rendering it difficult in some cases to
tell what animal is intended, the only exceptions to this rule being
some figures of owls, in which the Zunians appear to have made the
nearest approach to the true form. They are generally of white ware,
decorated with colors. Often these decorations are arbitrary, but as a
general rule there has been an evident attempt to imitate nature so far
as it could be done with the various shades of brown and black.
Some of the larger pieces, especially the owls, have an opening at the
top or on the back, as though designed for water vessels.
The objects most commonly represented are owls (which largely
predominate), antelope, elk, ducks, and chickens. The human form, the
pig, sheep, horse, &c., are occasionally represented.
Owls, _m[-u]-h[-u]-que_ and _m[-u]-h[-u]-que-ts[-a]n-n[-a]_. These are
nearly always represented with feet, and in most cases with legs. The
body is usually disproportionately large, as are also the legs; the bill
is small, and the wings are represented by small lateral projections;
the tail is short. The eyes are generally well represented. The
feathers, as will be seen, by reference to the figures, are quite well
shown. The figures nave an opening on the top of the head.
As there is a strong similarity in form, and the mode of decorating them
is shown in the figures, no special remarks on the different specimens
are necessary.

1123, 1124. 1123, (40066), Fig. 465, and 1124, (40739), Fig. 464. Two
owl-shaped water vessels from Zuni.
Duck-shaped canteens, _[-e]-y[-a]h-m[-e]-h[-e]-to_, are usually
represented in a swimming posture, without feet, though occasionally
the standing posture is adopted. The feather decorations are not so
generally used as on the owls; several specimens bear on the back
or sides the figure of the grotesque bird with spread wings. These
specimens, like the owl images, have an orifice on the top of the head
as though intended for water vessels, but are seldom used as such at
the present time.
1125. (39910). Shown in Fig. 471.
The following are similar:
1126, 1127. 1126, (39879); 1127, (39889).

Fig. 477. Antelope. (_m[-a]h-[-a]-wi._) The form and decorations are
shown in Figs. 477 and 478.
1156-1161. 1156, (41047); 1157, (41048); 1158, (41050), Fig. 478; 1159,
(41219); 1160, (41210); 1161, (41211).
1162. (41049). Elk, _sh[-o]-hi-ta_.
1163-1166. 1163, (41212), Fig. 480; 1164, (41213); 1165, (41214);
1166, (41217). Pigs, _pits-[-o]-te_. The figures show the forms and
decorations with sufficient accuracy to make further description
unnecessary.
1167. (41218). Ox, _w[-e]-[ae]-si_. But a single example in the
collection. Shown in Fig. 479.

_K[-a]n-[-e]-l[-u]_. These, like the pigs, are usually marked with
spots. One specimen has these spots in the form of an S, or sigmoid
figure.
1171. (41222). The Big Horn (_Ovis montana_), _H[ae]-li-tk[-u]_. This is
the only specimen obtained and is a very rude figure, not easily
recognizable.
1172. (41224). The Lynx, _T[-e]-pi_. Orifice in the top of the head.
Decorated with spots.
1173. (41225). The Horse, _T[-u]sch_, Decorations, spots, and lines
representing hair. A very poor figure; without the name would be
unrecognizable.
1174. (41226). Man on horseback, _I-m[ae]l-t[-o]-yi_. The figure of the
man is evidently intended to represent a Mexican, as shown by the
ordinary hat and clothing. The saddle is represented, but there is no
bridle or other trappings.
_STATUETTES._
1175. (40071). Indian boy without clothing and wearing moccasins.

1181. (41223). Human hand, _ah-sin-ne_. Represents the hand and wrist.
Rather good figure. The wrist is surrounded by a colored scalloped
band, as a bracelet.
Moccasins. _M[-o]-qu[-a]-we_. These are usually very correct in form,
the differences between the right and left being always properly
represented. Sometimes they are made singly, but usually in pairs,
united directly or by a little straight bar or curved handle at the
posterior end. White with color decorations, or brown or lead-colored
without decorations, diminutive in size. The following specimens are
without decorations:
