In spite of this want, prehistoricpottery of remarkably fine shape has beenfound throughout the world, and somecuriosity has been manifested over themethods of the primitive workmen—work-women in many cases. The Western Hemisphere is noted forthe production of shapes in clay that arebeautiful and symmetrical. Without me-chanical contrivance, the American Indianproduced wares that rival the symmetry,if not possessing the rigid outline, of themachine-made. One method was the useof a mold made of basket-work. Anothercontrivance was that of a half-mold ofwood ; when the clay had been shaped tothis half, the potter gradually rotated hisproduct, adding section by section, untilthe whole received the roundness from thewood. Tn another use of the wooden mold,two halves received their separate imp-ious and were then joined with liquid The Famous Lane Steel Beam Hangers.
