JSxjilcDiulioii hy Ihc Kii' riilius 



The Kri'rahus had prepared the paint by mi.xing red clay with run- 

 ning water. He mixes it rather dry so that what is left can remain in 

 the shell. Only the riglit half of a shell can be used to hold the paint. 

 You remember what I told you of the shell and why we tise it (first 

 ritual, part li). The red clay we use for paint was made by Tira'wa 

 for this j)urpose. 



Tli(^ paint symbolizes the red clouds of the dawn, the coming of the 

 new <lay, the rising sun, tlie vigor of life. The power of the new day, 

 the new life, is now standing before the child.
