content: Shayleen Macy and Valerie Switzler of the Wasco delegation from the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs made these comments during the Recovering Voices Community Research Visit Aug 31-Sept 4, 2015. This object has a very Wasco design with the rib bones showing on the outside side. It looks like an animal lying on its back, possibly swimming if it is an otter, but also possibly a hedgehog or porcupine. They also noted that it has the form of an oil lamp. The group was overall skeptical of the 'paint mortar' designation.
