(After Lothrop, 1942, figs. 237, 251, and 332.) the nose, rings of gold, serpentine, or opal were inserted (fig. 37, h, c). Ears were decorated either with long rods of gold or stone or with large spoolHke ornaments of gold (fig. 38; pi. 20, ^). Necklaces were of hollow golden beads (one necklace is 3 m. (10 feet) in circumference) or of boars' tusks, sharks' teeth, dogs' teeth, serpentine, agate, shell, or bone. For fingers there were gold rings, and for wrists bracelets of gold, agate, or bone. Sometimes the forearms were encased in cuffs of gold, and there were golden greaves for the legs. There are many forms of pendants, shaped like men, birds, crocodiles, monkeys, etc., which may be of gold, agate, serpentine, whale-tooth ivory, or bone (pi. 20, a, b; figs, 37, a; 39). This is but an incomplete list with no attempt to describe the infinite variety of forms. Peculiar to Cocle are composite pendants made of gold and some other material. Among these combinations are ivory, pottery or resin figures with overlays of sheet gold, and also various animals with heads of cast gold and bodies of emerald (fig. 40), agate, or quartz. Many objects of sheet gold are found which once were overlays on now rotted wooden 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.
