The convex portion of the concavo-convex disk is filled with ayellow clay and the concavo-convex plate is then fitted to one ofthe circular pieces which has been attached to the cylinder con-necting the two sides of the ornament and the edges of the outerconcavo-convex plate are turned over the inner circular plate,and is firmly held in place. The other side is made in the sameway, and frequently when the ornament is finished the two out-side plates are connected to the cylindrical column so that a cordcould be readily passed through the hollow column from oneside to the other. 12 Professor C. C. Willoughby of Harvard University describes theprocess of making the copper ear ornaments in American Anthropolo-gist, Volume 5, 152 Ohio Arch, and Hist. Society Publications. Fig. 21 shows the next type of ear ornament. These aremade from two circular pieces of copper hammered into the con-cavo-convex forms and connected together by a cylindrical again shows great skill employed in connecting thesetwo pieces, as in the first type the concave portion is greatlyextended so as to fit in the column and apparently held in placeby being pressed firmly to the side of the cylinder, and the cyl-inder wrapped with a cord to hold the va-rious parts together. Type No. 3 is shown in Fig. 22, andlike the last type described, consisted oftwo concavo-convex plates connected to-gether by a cylinder extending through thehole cut in the concave portion and thenclinched upon the outside, and as in typefig. 22-aiper ear or- No. 2, only three pieces of copper are used nament.
