  On 
  the 
  north 
  wall, 
  facing 
  west, 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  picture 
  of 
  the 
  mountain 
  

   lion, 
  3 
  feet 
  long, 
  of 
  brown 
  color. 
  The 
  eye 
  of 
  this 
  animal 
  is 
  a 
  glis- 
  

   tening 
  fragment 
  of 
  a 
  pearly 
  Haliotis 
  shell; 
  a 
  line 
  painted 
  red 
  rep- 
  

   resents 
  the 
  life 
  line, 
  extending 
  from 
  the 
  mouth 
  to 
  the 
  region 
  of 
  the 
  

   heart. 
  The 
  tail 
  extends 
  forward 
  above 
  the 
  back, 
  a 
  significant 
  posi- 
  

   tion 
  in 
  pictures 
  of 
  the 
  mountain 
  lion, 
  the 
  tail 
  of 
  which 
  is 
  generally 
  

   represented 
  as 
  a 
  ridge 
  in 
  relief 
  extending 
  longitudinally 
  along 
  the 
  

   backbone; 
  but 
  in 
  this 
  connection 
  it 
  is 
  instructive 
  to 
  call 
  to 
  mind

  sym- 
  

   bol 
  consisting
