"Yes, and now her people know it, and it will rekindle their hatred. The moment I heard of this I sent old Bat to watch the crossing at La Bonté. Not an hour ago this came in by the hand of his boy," and the colonel held out a scrap of paper. It a rude pictograph, a rough sketch, map-like, of a winding river another and smaller one separated from the first by a chain of mountains.
These agree so closely with the pictograph and with the representation on the potsherd from Sikyatki, that I regard it well-nigh proven that they represent the same personage. The head is round and bears two feathers, while the star emblem appears in the eye. The wing and the stump of a tail are well represented, while the leg has three talons, which can only be those of this monster.
There is an entrance to F at the extreme left, and the whole room was lower than the floor of the lower stories of B, C, and D. The most conspicuous pictograph on the cliff above Ruin I of Palatki, is a circular white figure, seen in the accompanying illustration.
He was ultimately slain by their War god, the legends of which have elsewhere been published. There is a pictograph of this monster near Walpi, and pictures of him, as he exists in modern conceptions, have been drawn for me by the priests.
In the food bowl illustrated in plate CXLI, b, we find the two circles shown, and between them a rectangular pictograph the meaning of which is not clear. The only suggestion which I have in regard to the significance of this object is that it is an example of substitution the substitution of a prayer offering to the mythic bird represented in the other bowls for a figure of the bird itself.
Browne's drawings occasionally showed a tendency to approach the rudimentary sort of "pictograph" rather than give what a dramatic critic calls "a solid and studied rendering" of events. But many of Mr. Browne's illustrations of Dickens are immortal. They are closely bound up with our earliest and latest recollections of the work of the "incomparable Boz." Mr.
The head of the bird, as has been shown, is often replaced by a terraced rain-cloud symbol. Such a figure occurs in the pictograph under consideration, where it occupies the position of the head.
The largest ruin in the canyons is that shown in plan in figure 6. The name was derived probably from a pictograph of a cow done in blue paint on the canyon wall back of the ruin. Traces of walls extend over a narrow belt against the cliffs about 400 feet long and not over 40 feet wide, and over this area many walls are still standing. Scattered over the site are a number of large bowlders.
It is interesting to note the similarity in the carved line with six sets of parallel bars to the band surrounding the figure of the human hand shown in plate CXXXVII, c. In attempting to identify the pictograph on the bowl reproduced in plate CXXXIV, a, there is little to guide me, and the nearest I can come to its significance is to ascribe it to a reptile of some kind.
