COLLECTIONS FROM LAGUNA.

ARTICLES OF CLAY.

_WATER VASES._

These are mostly of the usual form, though some should, probably on account of their shape, be designated as jars. A few have the margin undulate, and some are without any distinct neck.

They are generally well made and very symmetrical, of white ware, with decorations in black, brown, or red colors.

2290. (41295). Small, with opposite handles or ears, resembling rats peeping into the vessel; body decorated with broad oblique stripes and figures resembling corn blades. Shown in Fig. 585.

2295. (42381a). Fig. 587. The leaves in the decorations of this piece are probably designed to represent corn blades. There is something about the figures here used which leads one to believe they are, in part, at least, symbolical.
