PLATE 8: JAR, CUP, PLATTER, BOWLS, SPOONS
This plate comprises vessels of various shapes which I had at first intended not to illustrate or which had been overlooked.
_a_, large water jar, 13791, classing with pl. 5,_a_,_b_. Rim diameter 255 mm., neck 227, maximum body diameter 315, height 255. The design is of large solid hourglass figures separating rhomboidal-hexagonal areas each bordered by double lines and containing about 35 oval-round spots about 7-12 mm. across. The pattern recalls that of the interior of pl. 3,_d_.
_b_, handled cup, 38406, of the type of pl. 5,_h_,_i_. Mohave provenience assumed. Rim d. 100, h. 70. Interior design, 6 radiating lanceolate or petaloid areas, double-line bordered, containing from 33 to 50 spots. There are small solid triangles where the "petal" borders meet, and dots also in the peripheral spaces. The handle is striped crosswise; the outside of the vessel, vertically. Compare pl. 5,_h_,_i_.
_c_, _under_ side of platter 1722, front shown in pl. 3,_d_; d. 203 mm. The design is a solid dark and light checker of 25 whole or partial squares.
_d_, bowl, 1721, d. 220 mm., h. 135, ratio 61 per cent. Design: the forked-and-angled pattern, crudely executed, and called teítθôk face paint. The dots were named hatúhk, rows of tattoo dots. The _outside_ is painted with crossing lines, forming triangles and diamonds, called sóaka, small net.
_e_, large bowl, 1746, d. 320, h. 150, ratio 47 per cent. Wt. 41 oz. The interior design, called atalyke hamalye, leaves of an edible tuber-bearing plant, is fishnetlike: thin lines forming squares bisected by diagonals running one way; or, a network of right-angled triangles turning somewhat irregular toward the vessel's rim. Opposite acute angles filled in solid. This design apparently was begun by drawing 5 parallel lines across the interior, demarcating 6 segments. These were then crossed, nearly vertically, by 6 lines; and then by 6 diagonals. _Outside_, vertical stripes 10 or more mm. wide. There are three peglike projections, irregularly spaced, to keep binding from slipping. Two, broken off, are 7-8 mm. across; the third projects 11 mm.
_f_,_g_ are _outside_-painted bowls, both with height 48 per cent of their rim diameter, almost the same as _e_. _f_, 13777, d. 310, h. 150; thickness near bottom 7-9 mm., at neck 4.5-6, at lip 6.5-7; wt. 48 oz.--heaviest piece in the collection. _g_, 13781, d. 165, h. 80; wt. 14 oz. The design of _f_ is negative in effect: a band of light diamonds reserved on darker background; they are about twice as high as wide, and each is inner-outlined with a dark border. The interior is dark and worn smooth. The pattern of _g_ is irregular: diagonals sloping to the right, with left-sloping ones crossing every other one of these; but to the side, the left-sloping lines come thicker, the right-sloping ones are omitted.
