the size and form of the pottery bowl with cover, W. S. R. Painted I—III. The basket had
utterly decayed but the cast of decayed matter was clear. Either the necklace had lain
originally in the basket and so been thrown out without being noticed, or one of the thieves,
attempting to get the better of his partners had hidden it in the basket and placed the basket
in the debris where by some chance he failed to find it.
ix. Necklace consisting of twelve gold beads (flattened double-cone beads; length, 30-32 mm.;
hollow) and fifty ball-beads of carnelian (diam., 8-11 mm.); 14-1-613. The necklace had
lain in the basket on the original string but in a tangled heap. As the thread had utterly
decayed, the original order could not be clearly distinguished, but at least one carnelian
bead intervened between each pair of gold beads. The rich coloring lends the necklace,
however arranged, a barbaric splendor.
