On all kinds of different objects there is a plain ornament, very 

 common, which, according to the natives, is meant to represent a 

 seal (fig. 43). Thus, for instance, the man who sold me the drying- 

 frame represented in fig. 260 a, informed me that the notches at its 

 extremities were meant to represent seals.
