This particular specimen is a good example of the Chaco wares in all of its traits. One of the simple ovoid-shaped scoops has a design consisting of panels extending from the rim on the bowl end to the rim on the handle end (fig. 33). On either side just below the rim are sets of three squiggled lines. Below these are rows of tipped triangles that take on the form of opposed triangles when the pattern is considered as a whole. They do not exhibit the usual character of opposed tri- angles, however, in that they have their tips pointing in the same direction. The potter appears to have been undecided whether to make rectilinear tips or volutes at the ends of the triangles. The.

There is no bordering line for the pattern as the lip of the rim is not painted. Tipped triangles and squiggled lines were also used as the chief elements in the design on one of the cap-type scoops. The major part of the decoration is in the bowd (fig. 34) and is of the band variety. There are five units in the band. Owing to the curve of the wall of the bowl, the units are wedge-shaped, narrower at the bottom than at the top, and some of the lines have a pronounced slant. Each unit consists of a set of three, approximately parallel, squiggled lines and a row of double-tipped triangles. The units are separated by single, vertical lines. The line forming the lower border for the band also makes a crude circle in the bottom of the bowl. The pat- tern in the handle has two units separated by a single median line. The elements in the units are scrolls, or volutes, and zigzag lines. The units are different in that one has three of the volutes, the other four.
