Length cm., maxi- mum width cm., thickness to mm. Pendant C (fig. 188, c) is a flat, rectanguloid pendantlike object of well-polished, pale-green nephrite with the crude head of a bird at the upper end. The head is rounded and the heavy beak projects forward, but is not hooked. V-shaped indentations separate it from the rectanguloid body, which has the lower, back corner cut ofl;. A biconical hole, 2 mm. in diameter on the surface and mm. at the center was drilled near the center of the body. Length cm., width cm., thickness 3 to 5 mm. Bead D (fig. 188, d) is a flat disk of brownish-green nephrite, cm. in diameter and 2,0 to mm. thick. A biconically drilled hole in the center narrows from mm. in diameter at the surface to mm. toward the center. The surfaces are flat and parallel, one being well polished and the other rough. Bead E (fig. 188, e) is of pale-green nephrite with a cyUndrical form measuring cm. long and cm. in diameter. The ends are flat and have parallel 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.
