324 THE POINT BARROW ESKIMO. 
All the deer on this box are represented strictly in profile, so as to show 
only two legs and one antler each. On the second panel are 4 deer, all 
does, followed by a man with a bow slung across his back. On the 
third, a man in the middle appears to be calling 2 dogs, who, at the 
left of the panel, are drawing arailed sled. Reversed, and on the upper 
border of the panel, is a man pushing behind a similar sled drawn 
by 3 dogs. The head dog has stopped and is sitting down on his 
haunches. The dogs, like the reindeer, are all strictly in profile and 
rather conventionalized. In the fourth panel are 3 reindeer followed 
by a man in his kaiak, and upside down, above, a deer without legs,

supposed to be swimming in the water, and a very rude figure of a man 
in his kaiak. These figures probably represent actual occurrences, 
forming a sort of record. 
Fig. 330a (No. 89408 [1371] from Sidaru) is a piece of stout antler, 
4-7 inches long, which has the bottom of pine fitted tightly in without 
fastenings. The cover is of wood, covered, to make it fit tight, with 
parchment, apparently shrunk on and puckered on the upper surface. 
A thick hank of untwisted sinew is fastened as a handle through the 
middle of the cover. This box is old and dirty, and contains an unfin- 
ished flint arrow-head. No. 56505 [59| from Utkiavwin, is a new box, 
closed at the ends with thick shouldered plugs of pine wood. The tube 
is 8 inches long and ornamented with a conventional pattern of incised 
lines colored with red ocher.
