g. .'{(il (No. 8047.'{ [l.'Utl] from Utkiavwifi) is a piece of an old snow- 

 el edge with freshly incised figures on both faces, which the artist

 line. At the left is a man pointing his rifle at a bear, which stands on 

 its hind legs tacing him. Then comes a she bear walking toward the 

 left followed by a cub, then two large bears also walking to the left,

 the other. This was explained by the artist as follows: " These are

 string of three wolves. His explanation was: " These are the wolves 

 1 have killed."
