The gum was heated and poured into the jar, and by turning the jar, the melted gum was brought in contact with the entire inner surface, after which the surplus was poured off. The outside was also covered with the gum to which a red clay had been added so that the bottle, when finished, had a reddish hue. | Elmore, Francis H., 1944, Ethnobotany of the Navajo, Sante Fe, NM.
