_COOKING VESSELS._

These vessels are generally of medium size, though in some instances the dimensions vary exceedingly. Those used in cooking for feasts are quite large, sometimes with a capacity of about ten gallons; the smallest, designed only for family use, are less than four inches in diameter and not quite three inches high. They are of two general forms, one similar to the ordinary pots used on cooking stoves, the other bowl-shaped. Two specimens in the collection are provided with legs; to these the Zunians apply the name _sa-mu yen-sa-qui-pa_. See Fig. 432. As a general rule, the rims of these vessels are flared, and on some of them, close to the rim on the outside, are ear-like projections, which are probably intended as catches by which, with pokers or sticks, they can be removed from or arranged in position on the fire. They are never ornamented, and have no coloring other than that which is acquired in baking. These vessels are used in cooking such foods as contain liquids. Three names are applied to cooking pots, having reference to size, viz.: _pah-teh-le_ is the large cylindrical pot; the smaller pot of the same form is _pah-tehl-tsan-na_; and _wah-li-ah-ka-tehl-le_ is the common cooking pot. The Olla or bowl-shaped pot, Fig. 433, is called _sa-mu-yen_.

The following numbers belong to the _pah-tehl-tsan-na_ group and present no variations worthy of special notice.

742, 743. 742, (41113). Fig. 436; 743, (41114), Fig. 433. These ill.u.s.trations represent a form and have the appearance of the so-called ancient ware; the latter specimen bears the impress of the gra.s.s which was produced in the baking process.
