Plate VII, Fig. 3, represents the fetich of the red Wolf (Iú-na-wi-ko á-ho-na), of the South. It is but crudely formed from a fragment of siliceous limestone, the feet, ears, and tail being represented only by mere protuberances. Although the material is naturally of a yellowish-gray color, it has been stained red.
Plate VII, Fig. 4, represents the fetich of the white Wolf (Iú-na-wi-ko k'ó-ha-na), of the East. It is of very white, compact limestone. The hanging tail, erect ears, attitude, &c., are better shown in this than perhaps in any other specimen of the class in the collection. It has, however, been broken through the body and mended with black pitch.
Plate VII, Fig. 5, represents the fetich, of the many-colored Wolf (Iú-na-wi-ko í-to-pa-nah-na-na), of the Upper regions. The original is of fine-grained sandstone of a gray color, stained in some places faintly with red and other tints. The mouth, eyes, ear tips, and tail have been touched with black to make them appear more prominent.
Plate VII, Fig. 6, represents the fetich of the black Wolf (Iú-na-wi-ko shí-k'ia-na), of the Lower regions. Although uncommonly large and greatly resembling in form the bear, it possesses the oblique face, upright ears, hanging tail, and other accepted characteristics of the Wolf.
THE EAGLE—HUNTER GOD OF THE UPPER REGIONS.
EAGLE FETICHES OF THE CHASE—HUNTER GOD OF THE UPPER REGIONS.
The fetiches of the Eagle, God of the Upper regions, and his younger brothers of the other regions (K'iä′-k'iä-li wé-ma-we) are represented on Plate VIII. They are characterized merely by rude bird forms, with wings either naturally or very conventionally carved (Figs. 3 and 6). Further details are rarely attempted, from the fact that all the other principal prey animals are quadrupeds, and the simple suggestion of the bird form is sufficient to identify the eagle among any of them.
