Sketches, 1880-1893.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/48102284

The laminated reprints of paintings and sketches reflect the portions of Bandelier's expeditions reported to Dr. Norton and recorded in Bandelier's journals from the year 1880. The sketches reflect expeditions from a wider range of years (from 1880-1893). Many of the sketches are labeled with regard to place (in New Mexico), while others are left unidentified. Some are accompanied by notes regarding the composition of the buildings and the artefacts found nearby. In some cases, Bandelier has sketched the potsherds related to particular settlements or ruins. Among the other items sketched are pottery, Apache fetishes, Apache headdresses, Zuñi symbols with their corresponding interpretations, graphics, Apache arrows, Apache musical instruments, a medicine bowl, metates and manos, kivas of Santo Domingo Pueblo, "Devils of the Sun," a copper rattle, what appear to be the accoutrements of Matachines dancers, and a "wand" of straw, leather, and parrot feathers. In two cases, sketches are attributed to other parties (Dr. Matthews and Dr. Charles S. Gibson). The sketches are numbered, in pencil, by a hand other than Bandelier's. Some are labeled by this unidentified hand as well.
