over with a thin coat of red ocher, and the legs and feet have a coat of 

 black lead over this. The hair also is marked out with black lead, and a 

 small opaque white bead is fastened with a peg to the middle of the 

 breast. This image was made for the market. 



No. 5(&amp;gt;495a [203], from UtkiavwTfi, is of a pair of very rude images, 

 also made solely for the, market. Each is S inches long, and is merely 



an oblong piece of

 middle to each side 

 in front. One end is 

 surmounted by a 

 rather rudely carved 

 human head, with the 

 features in relief and 

 the eyes and mouth 

 incised. The eye 

 brows are marked out 

 with black lead, and 

 there is a longitudinal 

 line of black lead down

 of some coniferous wood weathered to a dark, reddish brown. The

 wooden pegs. There is a deep groove around the 

 edge of the face into which is fastened a strip 

 of yellowish wolfskin with long fur to represent 

 the trimming around the hood of the jacket. This
