161. ([40317]). Fig. [367]. A little study of these figures will satisfy any one that although there is an apparently endless variety in details, there are, in fact, but comparatively few different figures.
162. ([41146]). Fig. [370]. This belongs to the same variety as Fig. [368].
| Fig. 369 ([40701]) (¼) | Fig. 370 ([41146]) (¼) |
163. (40315). Large size, similar to that represented in Fig. [370], but varying in form, having the expansion at the shoulder more prominent and tapering more rapidly from thence to the base. The figures remind us of the trappings often seen in Japanese cuts.
164. (40319). Medium size; decorations similar to those in Fig. [361], except that here the elk or deer stands on a broad black band in which there is a row of white diamonds.
165. (40321). Medium size; of the variety represented in Fig. [361], but in these smaller pieces the bird zone is omitted, and there is but one figured zone on the body. In this example a small elk is represented as standing on the back of a larger one.
166. (40700). Medium size, belonging to the same type as the preceding. On the neck are figures of grotesque kite-shaped birds.
167. ([40701]). Medium size; Fig. [369]. This and the preceding one are not designated as vases in the original Smithsonian Catalogue, nor in my field list, but according to the form should be classed in this group.
168. (41165). Medium size; decorations similar to those of Fig. [367], but varying in having the figure of a bird introduced in the middle belt with a small double scroll arising out of the back. The lower belt has the same bird reversed.
