In decorating their earthenware the native tribes often used the stylus with excellent effect. The yielding clay af- forded a tempting surface, and in some cases considera- ble skill was shown,especially by the ancient potters of the lower Gulf states, who executed elaborate scroll designs with great precision (^loore, Holmes). The point was used for incising, trailing, and in- denting,and among ancient Pueblo plotters was sometimes used upon dark-painted surfaces to develop delicate figures in the light color of the underlying paste.
