Text size

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.

ARTICLES OF CLAY.

_WATER VASES._

These are of the usual form, and for the most part of the usual size found at Zuni; 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:

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 Zuni 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.

1518. (41454). With handles on sides; fringe-like band around the
shoulder.

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.

Represented in Fig. 516.

_WATER JUGS AND JARS._

These are similar to those obtained at Zuni; 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.

scalloped band around the neck.

1573. (41620). Only the large scrolls, nothing on the neck.

1574. (41622). Similar to the preceding, except that each alternate
scroll is replaced by a rosette in a circle.

_EATING-BOWLS._

The bowls vary in size, as do those from Zuni, 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 Zuni, 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 Zuni bowls. The colors black and red or brown are usually lighter and brighter than on the Zuni pottery:

1643. (41357). Regular Form. Decorations on the inner face only;
marginal zigzag line, with diamond and scroll below.

_COOKING VESSELS._

These are usually unadorned and of brown or black ware. The number obtained was not large, and they vary greatly in character. They are generally of medium size or small, and some which appear to be used as cooking vessels have a handle on the side and resemble pitchers and cups. Some have two handles and are shaped like an urn or olla; others appear to be true pots. The want of uniformity among this tribe in the use of vessels of this kind renders its difficult to class them according to use. I will, therefore, group them according to form. Except one or two of the little pots none of them are ornamented.

Pot-shaped vessels:

1737-1739. 1737, (41360); 1738, (41379); 1739, (41385); two handles as
in Fig. 524.

1740-1741. 1740, (41380), and 1741, (41405). Without handle, the latter
possibly used as a drinking vessel.

1742-1746. 1742, (41381); 1743, (41382); 1744, (41383); 1745, (41384);
1746, (41386); each with a handle on one side; they resemble pitchers
or cups.

_TOY-LIKE VESSELS._

1747. (41416). Like a small water-vessel.

1748. (41442). Olla-shaped, with handles; decorated with a band of loops
around the middle.

the usual shape.

1754. (42367). Flat jar-shaped vessel, red ware, with regular ears on
the sides with holes through them. Cooking vessel; new.

1755. (42369). Small globular red bowl, half burned.

1756. (42370). Part of a corrugated vessel. It is yellow, but partly
burned; it looks fresh and new, but is really old, having been out of
the ground of old ruins near Wolpi.

_LADLES._

Of these vessels, which are extensively used by the Shinumos, there are various forms with an almost endless variation in decoration, being generally of ornamented white ware. Some of them bear a strong resemblance to the skillets used on cooking stoves, the handle being looped, but the bowl is more saucer-shaped. Others, as shown in Figs. 527 and 529, are evidently fashioned after gourds. Some are somewhat of the form shown in Figs. 439 and 440, but the handle is more distinct. Others are true cup-shaped vessels, with the handles projecting from the middle of the side. A few are double with a single handle.

Skillet-shaped vessels. Usually decorated in the bowl. As these figures are generally similar to those already described, special notice will be taken only of such forms as vary from the normal shape and figures.

1757-1758. 1757, (41396), and 1758, (41395). Gourd shaped; similar to
those shown in Figs. 527 and 529.

1784-1785. 1784, (41485), and 1785, (41486). Bowls elaborately
ornamented with geometrical figures and a circle of serratures, in
which is a figure resembling a duck with spread wings seen from above.

1786-1788. 1786, (41487); 1787, (41488); 1788, (41489); the last with a

_STATUETTES._

The clay images or statuettes obtained from the Shinumo pueblos are not objects of worship as supposed by many persons, but appear to be used to adorn their dwellings just as similar articles are used by civilized races. This is evident from their form and ornamentation which rudely represent the ordinary clothing worn by these Indians, and in the female figures the usual mode of wearing the hair either in a bunch at the back of the head or in two wheel-shaped knots at the sides. In a few instances ear ornaments, made of pieces of shells or beads, are found attached to the ears.

I am not aware that these images are used in their dances or religious ceremonies. If they are objects of worship it must be in the family only, or a secret worship of which I obtained no information.

Images are introduced, however, in their dances and religious rites, but these are made of wood and highly ornamented, some of which were obtained and are hereafter described.

1841. (42026). Composed of the same clays of which the general pottery
is made, with small lines of a brick-red color up and down the body;
black lines over the shoulder and around the body, terminating so as
to represent hands; small earlets, made of blue beads, suspended from
the ears; face in white, with black spots to represent month and eyes;
horn-shaped cap, extending obliquely back from the head. Represents a
male figure.

1842. (42027). Same as above, except the head, which has a square bunch
at its back, representing the one method of wearing the hair by the
Shinumos. Male figure.

1843. (42028). Same as No. 1841, especially in regard to the horn-shaped
protrusion from the back of the head.

1844. (42029). Plain flat image, probably intended to represent a
female.

1845. (42030). This image is quite characteristic of this class of
objects. The cut shows all but the colors, which are the same as
described above, the form only differing from No. 1841 in having two
horns curving back from the head. Seen in Fig. 533.

1846. (42031). Differs only from the rest in having a small hat on the
head.

1847. (42032). Female figure, but with a black band around under the
chin, apparently representing whiskers; dark brown body.

1848. (42033). Female figure with wheel-shaped knot on each side of the
head representing the manner of wearing the hair by the Shinumo women,
the body of the figure cream colored, face red, eyes and mouth black;
black necklace. Special parts of the body represented in red.

1849. (42034). Male figure ornamented with red vertical lines.

1850. (42035). Fig. 534. The cut presents all the lines on the image as
well as the form. The small wheels on each side of the head referred
to under No. 1848 show the style of wearing the hair; the black
markings shown on the cut are red on the figure. Female.

1851. (42036). Body red, marked with black and dark red lines; red and
black spots on back of head to represent the hair.

preceding; the last with the wheel-shaped knots representing the hair.

VEGETAL SUBSTANCES.

_BASKETRY._

The following specimens are examples of the tray-like baskets made from round willows:

1857. (42085). Fig. 535 shows the mode of its construction.

1858-1871. 1858, (42076); 1859, (42077); 1860, (42078); 1861, (42079);
1862, (42080); 1863, (42081); 1864, (42082); 1865, (42083); 1866,
(42084); 1867, (42086); 1868, (42087); 1869, (42088); 1870, (42089);
1871, (42090).

The following numbers refer to specimens of the spiral or coiled basketry, all the features of which are shown in Fig. 536, except the color decoration:

1872-1907. 1872, (42058); 1873, (42051); 1874, (42052); 1875, (42053);
1876, (42054); 1877, (42055); 1878, (42056); 1879, (42057); 1880,
(42059); 1881, (42060); 1882, (42061); 1883, (42062); 1884, (42063);
1885, (42064); 1886, (42065); 1887, (42066); 1888, (42067); 1889,
(42068); 1890, (42069); 1891, (42070); 1892, (42071); 1893, (42072);
1894, (42090); 1895, (42073); 1896, (42074); 1897, (42075); 1898,
(42091); 1899, (42092); 1900, (42093); 1901, (42094); 1902, (42095);
1903, (42096); 1904, (42097); 1905, (42098); 1906, (42099); 1907,
(42100).

The following are canteen or water baskets, previously described, as to method of making and using them:

1908-1912. 1908, (42101); 1909, (42102); 1910, (42103); 1911, (42104);
1912, (42105); are vase-shaped baskets, of which Fig. 537 is a
representative example.

The following are specimens of the same ware, differing only in form and size:

1913-1920. 1913, (42106); 1914, (42107); 1915, (42108); 1916, (42109);
1917, (42110); 1918, (42111); 1919, (42112); 1920, (42113).

1921-1925. 1921, (42114); 1922, (42115); 1923, (42116); 1924, (42117);
1925, (42118), are only noticeable on account of their peculiar form.
They are almost top-shaped, with an acute apex at the bottom. The
mouth is small, like that of a jug. In one instance (42114) the body
slopes from top and bottom to the center, almost forming a ridge. Very
few of this form were obtained.

1926. (42119). A double-lobed canteen basket. Many of the clay
water-vessels in the collection are made in imitation of this
double-lobed basket.

1927-1931. 1927, (42120); 1928, (42121); 1929, (42122); 1930, (42123);
1931, (42124). Ordinary forms of the water-basket.

1932. (42125). A fine, large, and quite perfect specimen, of the jug or
water-basket, with ears of horse-hair and string attached for use.
Quite a number of the ancient water-jars are of this form, and both
bear evidence of antiquity.

1933. (42149). Fig. 538 is a good illustration of this form.

1934-1937. 1934, (42146); 1935, (42147); 1936, (42148); 1937, (42150),
are of the same class of cemented basket-ware. The small
fruit-baskets, made of round willows and with much less care, are also
of many forms. Some are square, others round, and some with a peculiar
flattened body; of the latter there are but few in the collection.
They belong to the older class of basketry.

The following specimens belong to that class:

1938-1941. 1938, (42126); 1939, (42127); 1940, (42128); 1941, (42129).

1942. (42130). A specimen of a much finer quality than the preceding. It
is long and vase-shaped, with a wide mouth and flaring rim, and woven
up from the bottom in oblique ridges.

1943. (42131). A coarsely constructed bowl-shaped basket, of which type
the following are also specimens:

1944-1951. 1944, (42132); 1945, (42133); 1946, (42134); 1947, (42135);
1948, (42136); 1949, (42137); 1950, (42138); 1951, (42139).

1952. (42140). Specimen of the older basketry, with large depressed
body, flat bottom, and jar-like mouth.

1953-1956. 1953, (42141); 1954, (42142); 1955, (42143); 1956, (42144),
are also different forms of the peach-basket.

1957. (42145). Fig. 540. A large floor or hearth mat frequently found in
use among the Pueblos. The specimen in the collection exhibits some
skill and taste in weaving it. The material of which it is made is a
small round willow.

1958. (42151). A large deep basket, constructed by weaving coarse willow
twigs around four upright posts or large sticks. It has a capacity of
about two bushels.

1959. (42152). This is a small square basket of the same character.

1960. (42153). A specimen of this ware. It is shown in Fig. 539,
exhibits a coarse, loose manner of construction. These are used as
fruit-baskets.

1961-1962. 1961, (42154), and 1962, (42155). These are examples of the
same kind.

1963. (42156). This specimen represents the finest quality of baskets in
the collection. They are all more or less tastefully ornamented during
the process of plaiting them. They are skillfully and closely woven,
and are used for holding the finest of their flour and meal. These are
undoubtedly of Apache manufacture. Fig. 541.

1964. (42157). Has been selected as an illustration of this class of
baskets, of which the following are examples, differing but little in
form:

1965-1971. 1965, (42158); 1966, (42159); 1967, (42160), Fig. 542; 1968,
(42162); 1969, (42163); 1970, (42164); 1971, (42165). The two last are
almost flat; the rest saucer or bowl shaped and quite deep.

1972. (42166). Basket of coarse willow ware; platter-shaped.

1973. (42167). Conical-shaped basket of closely woven variety.

1986, (42199), Fig. 544; 1987, (42200). Examples of the same class.

The following baskets are made from the broad leaves of the yucca, woven or plaited crosswise in a very simple manner, and wrapped at the rims with leaves of the same plant. The texture of the weaving is quite coarse, not sufficiently close to hold any material smaller than corn or fruit:

1988-2006. 1988, (42176); 1989, (42177); 1990, (42178); 1991, (42179);
1992, (42180); 1993, (42181); 1994, (42182); 1995, (42183); 1996,
(42184); 1997, (42185); 1998, (42186); 1999, (42187); 2000, (42188);

(42193); 2006, (42194), are all specimens of this class well shown in
Fig. 543.

these implements, showing the shaft with spun yarn below the disk. As
previously mentioned, this spindle whorl is almost identical with the
drill used for perforating stone and shell charms and ornaments. The
addition of a cross stick and strings, with the flint tip, are only
necessary to convert it into a drill. In both the drills and whorls
the disks are made of horn, stone, bone, and wood. For the drill see
Fig. 494.

peculiar drum-stick in general use by the Shinumo, Zuni, and other
Pueblo Indians. It is made from a stick, one end of which is shaved
off sufficiently to admit of bending the end thus shaved round in the
form of a hoop, and then tightly securing it. The hoop portion is used

_STATUETTES._

These objects vary in form, size, and decoration, the largest being about thirty inches high, the smallest not more than five. They are objects of worship in one form or another. The illustrations in the woodcuts and colored plates will convey a better idea of them than could be given in a description. They are entirely composed of wood, with feathers and other small ornaments attached to them occasionally.

2157. (41951). This is the largest one of these images in the
collection, very highly ornamented with bright variegated colors. See
Fig. 571.

of decoration.

2159. (41953). This is a specimen of one of these images exhibited in
Fig. 567. The form is common to many of them, showing the pyramidal

arrangement of the head attachments; two rows of pyramids are shown;
the lower one is inverted; the two rows are separated by three arches;
the upper pyramids are ornamented at the tips with feathers. A
necklace of acorn hulls is around the neck, with a shell ornament
attached to it. Garters are represented at the knees. In this
specimen, as in many others, the feet are only represented by stubs.

COLLECTIONS FROM LAGUNA.

ARTICLES OF CLAY.

_WATER VASES._

These are mostly of the usual form, though some should, probably on account of their shape, be designated as jars. A few have the margin undulate, and some are without any distinct neck.

They are generally well made and very symmetrical, of white ware, with decorations in black, brown, or red colors.

2290. (41295). Small, with opposite handles or ears, resembling rats
peeping into the vessel; body decorated with broad oblique stripes and
figures resembling corn blades. Shown in Fig. 585.

are probably designed to represent corn blades. There is something
about the figures here used which leads one to believe they are, in
part, at least, symbolical.

birds with crests and ruffled feathers, one in each space. The
large-billed bird may be intended for a raven; the other the

narrow bands or lines.

2318. (42780). With slight oblique lines on the neck, and a few broad
upright lines in two groups on the body.

side by side; birds mounted on the handles; figures of elk on the
sides and ends in procession.

Birds.

These are frequently without feet, &c.; one or two double ones are on pedestals.

2334-2347. 2334, (41301); 2335, (41302), Fig. 597; 2336, (41303), Fig.
598; 2337, (41304); 2338, (41305); 2339, (42414), Fig. 608; 2340,
(42415), Fig. 599; 2341, (42418), Fig. 609; 2342, (42419); 2343,
(42423); 2344, (42426); 2345, (42427); 2346, (42428); 2347, (42429),
are all similar to that represented in the Figures; some of them are
intended to represent other birds than ducks.

2348. (42417). Fig. 600. With two heads on a pedestal.

2349. (42420). Two heads, but not on a pedestal; a handle on the back in
the form of a fox or dog. See Fig. 605.

2350-2352. 2350, (42421); 2351, (42422); 2352, (42424). Similar to those
shown in Fig. 598, but the decorations are scrolls and triangular

2353. (42425). Two-headed; not on pedestal; lines, triangles, &c.

2354. (42435). With a crest and long tail; apparently a rooster.

front of the head.

2356-2357. 2356, (41307), Fig. 609, and 2357, (41309). These are
probably intended for sheep, but they are so rude that it is not
possible to determine with any certainty. Bark colored.

2358. (41308). A cow; although rude, the characteristics are well given,
even to the hoofs and udder; spotted on the back and breast. Coloring
on the sides intended to represent hair.

2360. (42431). Fig. 602. This and the preceding figure are evidently
intended to represent rabbits.

2361-2362. 2361, (42432), and 2362, (42433). Similar to the last;
apparently intended for a figure of the ass (_Burro_), though the
spots on the former are inappropriate. The latter is decorated on the
side with the figure of another quadruped.

2363. (42434). Animal unknown.

2364-2365. 2364, (42436), and 2365, (42437). Animal not determinable;
