cusmsG.) THE WOLF AND THE EAGLE. 29 



Plate VII, Fig". 5, represents the feticli of the manycolored Wolf 

 (Iii-na-wi-ko ito-pa-nah-iia-na), of the Upper regions. The oiijrinal is 

 of fine-grained sandstone of a gray color, stained in some places faintly 

 with red and other tints. The month, eyes, ear tips, and tail have been 

 touched with black to make them appear more prominent. 



Plate VII, Fig. G, represents the fetich of the black Wolf (In nawiko 

 shi-k'ia-na), of the Lower regions. Although nncommonly large and 

 greatly resembling in form the bear, it possesses the obliqne face, up- 

 right ears, hanging tail, and other accepted characteristics of the Wolf. 



THE EiGlE-nUXTER COD OK THE UPPER REGIONS. 



The fetiches of the Eagle, God of the Upper regions, and his yonnger 

 brothers of the other regions (K'iii'-k'iii-li we-mawe) are represented 

 on Plate VIII. They arc characterized merely by rnde bird forms, 

 with wings either naturally or very conventionally carved (Figs. 3 and 

 G). Further details are rarely attempted, from the fact that all the 

 other principal prey animals are quadrupeds, and the simple suggestion 

 of the bird form is sufficient to identify the eagle among any of them. 



Plate VI 11, Fig. 1, represents the fetich of the yellow Eagle (K'iji'- 

 k'iiili thb'ip-tsi-na), of the oSforthern skies. It consists merely of t,he 

 head and shoulders, very rudely formed of white limestone and painted 

 with yellow ocher. This specimen is doubtless a natural fragment 

 very little altered by art. 



Plate VIII, Fig. 2, represents the fetich of the blue Eagle (K'iii'- 

 k'iii-li 16-k'ia-na), of the Western skies. It is quite elaborately carved, 

 suiti)lied with a pedestal, and pierced through the body to facilitate 

 susi)ension. For during ceremonials, to be described further on, the fet- 

 iches of the Eagle are usuallj- suspended, although sometimes, like 

 those of the (juadrupeds, they are placed on the lloor, as indicated by 

 the pedestal furnished to this specimen. Although of compact white 

 linu'stone, this fetich is made to represent the blue Eagle by means of 

 turkois eyes and a green stain over the body. A small pink chal- 

 cedony arrow -point is attached to the back between the wings by 

 means of a single sinew band passed around the tips of thelatter and 

 the tail aiul under the wings over the shoulders. 



Plate VI 1 1, Fig. 3, represents the fetich of the red Eagle (K'iiL'-k"iii-li 

 A-ho-na), of the Southern skies. Like Fig. 42, this is doubtless a nearly 

 natural fragiiuMit of very fine-grained red sandstone, the wings being 

 indicated by <leep lines which cross over the back, and the rump grooved 

 to receive the cord with which to secure to the back an arrow-point. 

 The breast is ]»erforated. 



Plate VIII, Fig. 4, is a nearly natural fragment of conii)act white 

 limestone, representing the white Eagle (K'iiL'k"iii-li kViha-na), of the 

 Eastern skies. No artificial details, save the eyes, which are faintly 

 indicated, have been attemi)ted on this specimen.
