_CONDIMENT CUPS._
These are similar in form and decorations to the paint cups, and are also round and square, single, double, and quadruple. They are usually small, holding from less than half a pint to a pint. The different names applied to them will be given as they are reached in the list. The double and quadruple ones are connected together in the same manner as the multiple paint-pots,
Single cups:
1030. (39878). Square with figures of chickens on the sides.
_Ma-po-ka-tehl-le_ is the name by which the round or vase-shaped vessels are designated. They are numbered as follows:
1031. (39905). Fig. 459. The figures on this specimen appear to be intended as representations of some neuropterous insect, but possibly they represent birds.
1032-1037. 1032, (40653); 1033, (40654); 1034, (40655); 1035, (40656); 1036, (40657); 1037, (40658). Some of these appear, from the fragments of bars attached to them, to have belonged to double specimens.
1038, 1039. 1038, (40633); 1039, (40832). These two are red ware.

Double cups:
The round form has the same name as the single salt cup, but the square pattern is named _Ma'-po-ka-thle-lo-ne_. The following specimens belong to the latter cla.s.s:
1050-1057. 1050, (39900); 1051, (39901); 1052, (40416); 1053, (40604); 1054, (40662); brown 1055, (40683); 1056, (40831); 1057, (40661).

_EFFIGIES._
These figures, which are of small size, the largest not exceeding one foot in length, are quite rude, rendering it difficult in some cases to tell what animal is intended, the only exceptions to this rule being some figures of owls, in which the Zunians appear to have made the nearest approach to the true form. They are generally of white ware, decorated with colors. Often these decorations are arbitrary, but as a general rule there has been an evident attempt to imitate nature so far as it could be done with the various shades of brown and black.
Some of the larger pieces, especially the owls, have an opening at the top or on the back, as though designed for water vessels.
The objects most commonly represented are owls (which largely predominate), antelope, elk, ducks, and chickens. The human form, the pig, sheep, horse, &c., are occasionally represented.
Owls, _mu-hu-que_ and _mu-hu-que-tsan-na_. These are nearly always represented with feet, and in most cases with legs. The body is usually disproportionately large, as are also the legs; the bill is small, and the wings are represented by small lateral projections; the tail is short. The eyes are generally well represented. The feathers, as will be seen, by reference to the figures, are quite well shown. The figures nave an opening on the top of the head.
As there is a strong similarity in form, and the mode of decorating them is shown in the figures, no special remarks on the different specimens are necessary.
