Excerpt from Conventionalism in Ancient American Art In figures 5 and 6, the nose and mouth form the central object on one-half of the vessel, with an eye on each side. 011 the opposite half, the tail and an ear on each side are the balancing features, and a handle is placed in the centre between the eye and ear on each side. With this arrangement of the parts, conventionalism has full play, and in figures 7 and 8 are seen two vessels on which the nose, eye, ear and tail are rudely represented in the same positions as in the preceding. Several other vessels are of the same character, but slightly modified in the more or less realistic representation of the several parts, until, finally, the climax of conventionalism in this direction is reached in the vessel shown in figure 9, where the nose, tail, eyes and ears are represented by six round knobs of equal size, holding the positions assigned to the several features in the preceding figures.
