The handle is a most niuisual one for the Jenie/v Plateau anil the whole form suggests the cups and mugs found in the San Juan drain- age. The color is choc- olate brown and the piece was nicely pol- ished. On one side is an aperture with raised lips. This is too near the handle to make it ])ractical to driidv out of the a])erture. It has been suggested that it was a canteen, but the fact that one could not easily drink out of it would tend to discredit this sup])osition. It is 19 cm. in height and 12 cm. in diamotor. (PI. 43, B.) Another incised piece in the same collection is a mug of typical San Juan drainage form. It is of the same choc- olate brown color and the incised design on the side is a very com- jnon one. The handle is gone, but is indi- cated by the dotted Hues. (Fig. ^7.) The form of this mug is so different from anything yet found on the Jemez Plateau that one cati only think tha t it was made by some ]) who was not a native of Po-shu atid who was at that village for a time. Unless the peoj)le of ]*o-shu had seen one of these mugs in some other locality the above supposition would hold good, 'fho mug is 18 cm, in height by 23 mm. at the broadest Kiij. 21. liicisod ( 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.
