Note 113 — RUINS IN TUSAYAN (continued 3)
Reading edition
The modern potters commonly adorn the ends of ladle handles with heads of different mythologic beings in their pantheon. The knob-head priest-clowns are favorite personages to represent, although even the Corn-maid and different katcinas are also sometimes chosen for this purpose. The heads of various animals are likewise frequently found, some in artistic positions, others less so.
