To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The two ends of the fillet merge into the shoulders of the figure and continue to form the arms. The forearms are folded on the breast, as is com- mon in Antillean objects of art in stone and shell, and the fingers are rudely represented by grooves. Near the wrists, a short distance from the fingers, there is a slight pro- jection on each arm which recalls the protuberances com- monly represented on the ankles of Antillean figures. Relatively the body is ab- normally small or i n a d e- quately... represented, the space between chin and legs being so restricted that not even the um- bilicus, so constantly found in stone images from Porto Rico, is represented. The soles of the feet are turned upward in an extra- ordinary way, and the toes are folded back, a common feature in Antillean idols. The mouth is large, nose broad, cheeks prominent, the whole recalling faces on three-pointed stones. FIG. 121. Elbow-stone in the Heye Museum. FEWKES] PORTO RICAN ELBOW-STONES 445 2.
