Those represented are the magpie, prairie lark, oriole, humming bird, and swallow. The latter is shown in Fig. 493. The object is attached to a stick in such a manner that the wings can be made to move up and down by pulling a string, in imitation of the bird in flight.
1335. (41184). Toy or baby cradle, called wi-hā-klem-tsān-nā, (see Fig. 489), with a wooden doll arranged to show the manner of securing children in cradles.

1359-1361. 1359, (41851); 1360, (41852); and 1361, (41853), Fig. 498, are specimens of a rattle or musical instrument made from the shell of a turtle which is highly esteemed by the Pueblo tribes. The flesh of the turtle is carefully removed from the shell, leaving it hollow. To the edges of the breast plate are attached the toes of goats or sheep. These toes coming in contact with the hollow shell produce a peculiar sound, in keeping with the sound caused by the gourd rattles used in the same ceremony. The rattle is fastened to the rear of the right leg near the knee when employed in the dances.
1362. (41287). Lasso or lariat of plaited leather.

1396. (41825). Imperfect large robe of wool.
1397. (42223). Sample of green yarn used by the Zuñians in making belts and blankets.
1398. (42201). War trophy, worn as shoulder belt; the band which passes over the shoulder is ornamented with arrow-points which are fastened in the plaiting. The plaited portion is made of the skin dress of a slain Navajo. So highly did the Zuñians prize this trophy that I was obliged to promise its return before I was allowed to take it away. A sketch was made of it, after which it was returned to the Indians.
1399. (42268). A Zuñi charm, made from a piece of shell rounded and pierced near one end to-receive a string.
1400. (41726). Head-dress worn by maidens in dances. Fig. 503 shows the form.

1414. (42208). Fig. 505. Large stone celt of coarse sandstone, light gray color. It is shaped more like a wedge than the cut indicates. It is difficult to conjecture what this implement could have been used for. The sandstone of which it is made is too soft for either splitting or hammering. As it is about ten inches long and has four flat sides it may have been a grinder, as many of those implements are not unlike it in length and appearance. Its surface is quite rough and pitted.
1415. (42209). Sandstone maul, grooved, surface rough.
1416. (42210). Triangular-shaped maul, grooved in the middle; of coarse basalt. This and similar mauls evidently at one time had handles fixed to them, but at the present day it is not uncommon to see the modern Pueblo Indians holding them in the hand to crush their grain, chili or red-pepper pods in round mortars.
1417. (42211). Grooved axe of basalt.
1418. (42212). Small grooved axe of metamorphic rock.
1419. (42213). Fig. 507. Water-worn boulder of quartzite, grooved around the centre.
1420. (42214). Basaltic maul, grooved in the middle like the preceding. Used by the Indians at the present day for pounding chili or red pepper.
1421. (42216). Grooved axe of greenstone, quite long, well shaped, and nicely polished.
1422. (42217). Grooved axe of greenstone, similar to the preceding.
1423. (42218). Grooved axe of sandstone; top square.
1424. (42219). Axe of basalt, grooved on three sides.
1425. (42220). Grooved axe of greenstone.
1426. (42221). Grooved axe of quartz.
1427. (42222). Grooved axe of sandstone. Groove very near the top.
1428. (42223). Grooved axe of greenstone, well polished.
1429. (42224). Grooved axe of schistose rock, much flattened, with a small second groove below the larger one.
1430. (42225). Small grooved axe of greenstone, body rather square, top quite small, with the groove very near it.
1431. (42226). Axe of basalt, grooved on three sides near its top, which is flat.
1432. (42227). Grooved on three sides.
1433. (42228). Grooved axe.
1434. (42319). Grooved axe made from a fragment of a grinder.
1435. (42320). Same as preceding.
1436. (42321). Rough chipping or stone hammer.
1437. (42322). Large grooved maul of a ferruginous substance.
1438. (42323). Large egg-shaped grooved maul of coarse sandstone.
1439. (42326). Large grooved maul of irregular shape and surface; finegrained sandstone.
1440-1447. 1440, (42327); 1441, (42328); 1442, (42329); 1443, (42330); 1444, (42331); 1445, (42332); 1446, (42333); 1447, (42334), are all quite similar to the two preceding mauls, and are all of sandstone.
| Wolpi ax |
| Fig. 506 (42337) (⅓) |
1448. (42335). A very large grooved maul, almost square, and weighing about fifteen pounds.
1449. (42336). Grooved maul of very coarse-grained sandstone; short and thick.
1450. (42337). Fig. 506. Grooved maul of compact sandstone. The body of the maul is almost round, though the cut makes it appear flat. Several such specimens were collected, and in all instances they show that they have been better preserved than the axes. This is probably due to the fact that their shape adapts them to grinding foods and grain, and hence they are not used for splitting or cutting.
1451. (42339). Rough stone maul of sandstone, grooved in the middle.
1452. (42350). Small grooved axe of sandstone from the ruins of Pecos.
1453. (42246). Celt of a very black slate stone.
1454. (42247). Celt. This is a very fine specimen, of yellow polished slate of about the same texture as the preceding one. It is about twelve inches long, and tapers gradually from the broad edge to the top.
1455-1460. 1455, (42279); 1456, (42287); 1457, (42289); 1458, (42309); 1459, (42310); 1460, (42311), are ordinary specimens of the metate placed together in the shape of a mill. See Fig. 508.
| Wolpi metate |
| Fig. 508 (42311) |
1461, 1462. 1461, (42313), and 1462, (42314), are rubbing stones.

1464. (42249). Rubbing stone.
1465. (40139). Rude rubber of silicified wood.
1466. (42274). Small quartz rubber.
1467. (42275). Small greenstone rubber.
1468-1473. 1468, (42276); 1469, (42277); 1470, (42278); 1471, (42316); 1472, (42317); 1473, (42318), are all fragrants of rubbers.
1474. (42290). Bound sandstone pestle, each end ovate.
1475. (42294). Square sandstone pestle.
1476. (42295). Small round pestle, with rounded ends.
Nearly all the pestles and mortars from Wolpi present evidences of age. They are nearly all of coarse sandstone, and were used for bruising food and grain. They are usually quite large, heavy, and round. As they are generally of soft yielding rocks, the cavities are worn very deep in most of them.
1477. (42281). Large flat food mortar.
1478. (42282). Paint mortar, made from a round sandstone boulder about five inches in diameter.
1479. (42283). Grain mortar.
1480. (42284). Mortar made from a round somewhat flattened sandstone boulder.
1481. (42285). Food mortar of indurated sandstone, about four inches thick and eight inches in diameter, irregularly round, the depression being about three inches deep.
1482. (42286). Mortar for crushing grain; this is an unusually fine specimen. It is about seven inches high, and an almost round body, about an inch and a half thick at the top of the rim; the cavity is quite a perfect oval in shape, about five inches deep; bottom flat.
1483. (42288). Mortar similar to the above, but having a projection on one side like the ear of a kettle.
1484. (42291). Mortar and pestle. The mortar is nearly square; cavity about five inches deep and seven in diameter. The pestle has a groove round the middle.
1485. (42292). Paint mortar about one inch thick and nearly square.
1486. (42293). Round quartzitic boulder; one side flat, the other with a small cavity.
1487. (42307). Bowl-shaped food mortar, about ten inches in diameter and five inches high.
1488. (42270). Stone knife with two notches or grooves near the large end.

1491-1493. 1491, (42254); 1492, (42255); and 1493, (42256), are all sandstone gaming balls.
| Wolpi ancient pipe |
| Fig. 509 (42257) (½) |
1494. (42257). Fig. 509. Hollow tube. The figure represents one made from potters’ clay, the other is of siliceous material. These pipes are not in use at the present time, but are frequently found around the ruins and in possession of the Indians.
1495. (42261). Stone image, probably intended to represent a rabbit. It is of fine-grained stone. Shown in Fig. 513. There are quite a number of these little images from Wolpi and Zuñi; as they appear to represent rabbits, it is presumed that they are quite old, and possibly antedate the introduction of domestic animals among the tribes.
1496. (42296). Small paint muller of jasper.
1497. (42297). Square quartzitic paint muller.
1498. (42298). Triangular paint rubber of quartz.
1499-1503. 1499, (42299), quartz; 1500, (42300); 1501, (42301); 1502, (42303); and 1503, (42304), are all quartz paint pestles made from half sections of small semi spherical boulders; the large end, which is flat, being used for the grinding part.
1504. (42305). Part of a grooved axe.
1505. (42306). Rubbing stone with four rubbing surfaces.

1506. (42262). Fig. 512. This undoubtedly represents some animal.
1507. (42263). Fig. 510. This evidently represents some animal other than the rabbit. The body is long and slender, and is provided with a tail.
| Wolpi neck ornament |
| Fig. 511 (40114) (½) |
1508. (42264). Small sandstone image, which is a good representation of a bear; grooved around the neck, with mouth and eyes and short tail. None of these little images are provided with anything more than short stubs for limbs.
1509. (42265). Very small sandstone image, quite similar to No. 1507.
1510. (40114). Wolpi neck ornament, Fig. 511, hu-wat-he-qua-ve, of red slate stone notched at each end, as shown in the cut, and perforated at the upper edge to receive a cord, with which it is suspended to the neck. Though a rare ornament, it possesses no particular known significance.
These are of the usual form, and for the most part of the usual size found at Zuñi; but there are also a number of very large specimens of the white ornamented, black, and red ware, having a capacity of ten or twelve gallons.
White decorated ware:
1511. (41356). Decorations exactly the same type as that shown in Fig. 359, except that there is a regular meander around the shoulder. The type is shown in Fig. 514.
The following belong to the same type as the above, the variations being but slight, the large circular space with scroll being the chief characteristic:
| Wolpi water vase |
| Fig. 514 (41602) (¼) |
1512. (41601). Figure on the neck as on the body of Fig. 372.
1513. (41602). Shown in Fig. 514.
1514. (41603). The block containing the smaller circle is here solid and square; there is a zig-zag band around the neck as on the margins of some Zuñi bowls.
1515. (41604). This varies in having in place of the block with the small circle, a regularly checkered block.
1516. (41606). This has only the large diamond figures on the body, and a band of s’s round the shoulder.
1517. (41607). Like No. 1514.

1519. (41455). Simple linear band around the body.
1520. (41456). Figures of a trident or three-pronged fork; and ladle on the body.
The following are plain brown and red ware, some of them very large. The neck is but slight, and they are often more pot-shaped than olla form. Without ornamentation.
Brown or red.

These are similar to those obtained at Zuñi; sub-globular in form, one side more distinctly flattened on which to lie, the other very convex. Usually with two handles, sometimes loops, and sometimes studs or knobs. Occasionally ornamented white ware, but most generally unadorned brown or red ware. The latter showing, on some pieces, at least, a slight, perhaps accidental, glazing. They vary in size from six or seven gallons down to less than a pint.
As the various figures used in decorations have been described, only those which are unusual will be noticed here.

1568-1569. 1568, (41609) and 1569, (41611). These have only the large diamond figures on the body, and a zig-zag line around the neck.
1570. (41610). The large diamonds serrate on the outer margin; neck with doubly oblique serrate lines.
1571. (41613). As in Fig. 514, except that the neck, instead of the zigzag, has oblique diamonds.

Those obtained were chiefly very small. As will be seen, the ladle to a very large extent supplies with this people the place of the cup.
1631. (41409). Regular handled cup; white ware, with a broad band in which are white crescents.
1632. (41461). Shaped as preceding. White ware, all except a marginal uncolored band marked with cross or checkered lines.

1642. (41435). A pretty pitcher-shaped vessel ornamented with interlaced or cross lines forming a regular net-work.
The bowls vary in size, as do those from Zuñi, but as a general rule they are small, or of but medium size; quite a number of those obtained are very small. In form they are generally like those from Zuñi, but some are biscuit-shaped, as those from Tesuke; others are true basins; and a few are square, and perhaps should not be classed as bowls, though we have included them under that general term. The decorations on the larger ones of regular form are very similar to those seen on Zuñi bowls. The colors black and red or brown are usually lighter and brighter than on the Zuñi pottery:
1643. (41357). Regular Form. Decorations on the inner face only; marginal zigzag line, with diamond and scroll below.
1644. (41359). Outer and inner surface decorations as in Fig. 412.
1645. (41361). Decorations only a double-scalloped inner marginal band.
1646. (41400). Very small; a simple inner band.
1647. (41463). Small. This and the following small specimens are decorated on the inside with what appears to be intended for an Indian head, with a tuft of hair.
