It was a four-pointed scar, with a perfect circle around it. Somehow, it seemed to me that this was not the first time I had seen this peculiar mark. I did not recollect ever seeing it on Max's arm. Where had I seen it, then? "It looks like a burn," I ventured to suggest. "It is. I wish I knew what it signifies. Scharfenstein said that it was positively fresh when he found me.
I was first led, then pushed violently before the tribunal. On a high seat in the centre of the tent sat a man wearing ample trousers of gaudy yellow and a short yellow coat with flowing sleeves. On his head he had a huge four-pointed hat, gilt all over, and with three great eyes painted on it. He was young-looking.
Also sacks to be filled with earth for improvised entrenching. Also the four-pointed contraptions called chevaux de frise, which however you throw them will always stick a fatal point upwards, to impale the horse or man who cannot or will not look where he is going. Even tarred paper, for keeping the weather out of trenches or anything else. And all these things in unimagined quantities.
The figure on the bowl under discussion has many points of resemblance to the symbolism of this personage as depicted on the altars mentioned.

This strip doubles on itself, encircles the rim, and after an interval again passes through two more holes, and so on around the entire basket. A square base, attached in the same manner as the rim, generally completes the basket. In the mountain districts near to Apayao, the bases of the smaller eating dishes are drawn in toward the center at four points, giving the effect of a four-pointed star.
On the same day, at Des Moines, Newcomb could perceive, through somewhat hazy air, no long rays, and the four-pointed outline of the corona reached at its farthest only a single semidiameter of the moon from the limb.
And now at last was clear a thing that had puzzled greatly the mechanism of that opening process by which sphere became oval disk, pyramid a four-pointed star and as I had glimpsed in the play of the Little Things about Norhala, could see now so plainly in the Keeper the blocks took this inverted cruciform shape.
