Note 19 — PARAPHERNALIA

Harrington writes: “Variously shaped section of gourd are used by women to smooth and shape pottery in the making” (1916, a, p. 102). Stevenson, in 1879, noted at Zuñi “a small trowel fashioned from a piece of gourd or fragment of pottery, the only tool employed in the manufacture of pottery” (1883, p. 329). Mrs. Stevenson also speaks of these trowels (1904, p. 374).
