HUMAN EFFIGY This human effigy bottle was purchased on April 9, 1936 by Robert Bell's father, Harry T. Bell. This picture was taken by Robert Bell. The bottle is described as a kneeling female figure with incised hands in the area of the stomach. The ears are pierced and there is a topknot on top of the head. The facial features are rather unique. The eyes and mouth were formed with a stamp. Another oval design was also stamped onto the center of the forehead. Bottles like this may have been used to hold either water or seeds.
