This decoration was painted with a thin light-colored pigment which has a semitransparent quality. The base of red shows through in portions and gives it a pinkish cast. This form of exterior em- bellishment is the one which, as previously stated, is the most exten- sively distributed of the Little Colorado types. It apparently centers in the region between St. Johns and Holbrook. An example of the all-over interior design in this group of polychrome is illus- trated by «, Plate 38. In its general plan this decoration follows those of Figure 30. It is far more elaborate, however, and shows an intricate treatment of the contrasting solid and hachured elements. The exterior of the vessel has a band consisting of a running fret painted in white. This vessel also is quite typical of this form of Little Colorado polychrome. Fragments from vessels belonging to the group show that variations of the fret figure done in broad heavy.
