. Bulletin. Ethnology. Figure 26.—Pottery from the lower Xingii. a, Arara; h, d, Yuruna; c, Curuaya. (All 2/9 actual size.) (Drawn from specimens, Museu Paraense Emilio Goeldi, Belem, and Nimuendaju and Snethlage collections.) Huge vessels 2^ feet (69 cm.) in diameter and equally high are used for fermented drinks. Exceptional pots were painted inside and outside. Curuaya pots resemble those of neighboring tribes, but the ware is inferior and vessels are small and plain. The characteristic form is a small, globular jar (fig. 26, c), apparently made in imitation of the capsule of the Brazil-nut

Miscellaneous.—The Shipaya made "half-gourds" (cuias) from the cuiete and Lagenaria. These are painted black inside and outside and sometimes have maze designs. The decorations are sometimes incised on the shell of the green fruit. Other containers include an Arara vessel for dye made of the dorsal carapace of a turtle and a rectangular palm-straw basket with a lid and upright Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Smithsonian Institution.
