_WATER JUGS AND JARS._

These are similar to those obtained at Zuni; sub-globular in form, one side more distinctly flattened on which to lie, the other very convex.

Usually with two handles, sometimes loops, and sometimes studs or k.n.o.bs.

Occasionally ornamented white ware, but most generally unadorned brown or red ware. The latter showing, on some pieces, at least, a slight, perhaps accidental, glazing. They vary in size from six or seven gallons down to less than a pint.

As the various figures used in decorations have been described, only those which are unusual will be noticed here.
