One of the most aberrant pictures of the sun, which I think can be identified with probability, is shown in the design on the specimen illustrated in plate CXXXIV, b. The reasons which have led me to this identification may briefly be stated as follows: Among the many supernaturals with which modern Hopi mythology is replete is one called Calako-taka, or the male Calako.
The meaning of the remaining appendages is unknown, but the likenesses to Calako-taka symbolism are noteworthy and important. The figure on the food bowl illustrated in plate CXXXIV, c, is likewise regarded as a sun emblem. The disk is represented by a ring in the center, to which feathers are appended. The triangle, which is still a sun symbol, is shown below a band across the bowl.
