Chapter III: Part 3

Encircling the crown are long, narrow bands or sashes, one of which is white, the others having figures woven in brilliant colors. The ends of these hang down at the sides of the face. Attached to one side of the mask by long stout cords is a pouch of coarse cotton cloth resembling a tobacco-bag. It is about 6 inches square. Attached to the lower edge of this is a fringe of long, heavy cords. To the opposite side a net is suspended, in which had been placed innumerable articles, probably intended for the use of the dead--a sling, made of cords, very skillfully plaited; bundles of cord and flax; small nets containing beans, seeds, and other articles; copper fish-hooks, still attached to the lines, which are wound about bits of cornstalk or cane; neatly-made sinkers wrapped in corn-husks, together with a variety of other articles.

65380, 65382. Sinkers of gray slate, shaped somewhat like a cigar, one
or more groves partially encircling the ends. These were carefully
wrapped in corn-husks. Fig. 199.

65383, 65384. Two copper fish-hooks and the cords to which they are
attached. The hooks pierce the ends of the bit of cornstalk about
which the cord is wound. Fig. 200.

65387. A sling, 4 feet long. The extremities consist of a single cord,
the middle part of 4 heavy, compactly-plaited cords.

65389. Head-bands of coarse fabrication, having figures of red, yellow
and white.

65391. A large piece of cloth, possibly a mantle, made by piecing
together fragments of highly-colored cloths.

65390. A large piece of gauze-like white cotton fabric.

65385, 65386. Small nets containing a variety of articles.

65386. A head ornament of red feathers, skillfully attached to cords.
