 zigzag vertical median band with red borders. Their eyes are stel- 

 late, consisting of round spots from which radiate blue bands. The 

 snout is prolonged, and attached to the left of the head there is an 

 artificial squash-flower symbol, while on the right two eagle feathers, 

 with a bundle of horsehair stained red, ai'e tied vertically. Their 

 kilts are decorated with triangular iigures like those on women's 

 blankets. The}' have sprigs of cedar in the Ixdt and carry ))raiiches

Wt'Wi'YOMO 



(Plate V) 



The Honani clan at Sichumovi have in their keeping four disk- 

 form masks, the symbolic markings of which resemble those of the 

 sun mask of the Katcina clan. They were not worn in 1900, but in 

 the festival of Painiirti were arranged, with four Zuni Calako masks, 

 on the floor in the house of the oldest woman of the Honani or 

 Badger clan, in whose keeping they are. forming a kind of altur Ix'fore 

 which the men danced. 



The artist has given a latei'al view of a man wearing one of these 

 objects. 



The mask is flat and is divided by a median line into two parts, one 

 green, the other j-ellow. The chin is painted lilack; the middle of the 

 face is occupied by a black triangular design from which proti-udes a 

 snout curved upward. There are zigzag lines on the«periphery of the 

 mask, representing plaited corn husks, in which are inserted two kinds 

 of feathers, three of which are longer than the remainder. There is 

 a fox skin about the neck. 



The blanket is white, undecorated, and covers a cei-emonial kilt, the 

 green border of which appears in the flgure. The flgure shows 

 knit cotton leggings and heel bands decorated with stars or crosses. 

 lu the left hand is represented the skin meal pouch, and in the right 

 a stafl', tioth of which the personator is said to carry. 



The symbolism of the mask as well as that of the dress is so close to 

 tliat of Ahiil that this being would seem to liear a relation to the 

 Honani clan like that of Ahiil to the Katcina clan. 



Accompanying Wiiwiiyomo was a flgure (not here reproduced) of 

 his warrior companion, Kalektaka, who wears the warrior feathers on 

 the head and a bandoleer over his shoulder, and carries a whizzer, a 

 bow, and arrows. It was pointed out by several of the old Hopi 

 priests that this particular warrior wears the embroidered jiarts of 

 the sash in front of his waist, as the artist has represented it in his 

 picture, instead of at one tiide, as is usually the case.
