PAINT CUPS.
These are always small, but vary in size from one and a half to three inches in height. They are usually in the form of water vases or globular jars, though sometimes of a true cup shape, and occasionally cubical. They are generally single, but quite often double, and occasionally triple and quadruple. To the large-sized single ones the Zuñians apply the name of hĕl-i-pō-kā-tēhl-le; and to those of smaller sizes, hĕl-i-pō-kā-tēhl-tsān-nā. They are usually without handles, but sometimes these are present. The double ones are connected only by a bar extending from the body of one to that of the other; and the triple and quadruple ones in a similar manner. They are of red and white ware like the other pottery; the decorations on the white are similar to those already described, so far as they can be adapted to these small articles.
We shall give the numbers without remarks, except to note unusual forms and figures.
