A characteristic example is illustrated in Fig. 253. The head is large and flat and the painted devices are in the red and black of the lost color group. The three notes are as follows:
Fig. 253. Bird shaped whistle, with decoration in black, lost color ware—1/1.
The piece given in Fig. 254 has the shape and markings of a hawk or eagle. It belongs to the alligator ware and is elaborately finished
in semigeometric devices in red and black. All of these devices refer more or less definitely to the markings of the plumage.
