Parts of these bird figures of jointed wood are shown in figures 1 to 4 and 8, plate 22, and probably figures 7 and 9, of sewed tablets, are incomplete figures. Figure 10 appears to be a feather. Figures 5 and 6 represent plume pahos, or possibly a rude conception of a bird. The long tablet to the right (fig. 11) appears to bear bird symbolism. It is a thin strip split from yucca or dasy- lirion flower stalk, smoothed and paint- ed red and having a zigzag design in black or green at three equal inter- vals of the strip. The upper end is perforated for at- tachment, and a portion of the cord still remains. The lower end is formed into a taillike shape. (Cat. No. 246577, ; length, 32 inches; width, 1 inch.) Figure 10 on plate 26 is a bird figure and 11 to 14, 16, 19, and 20 appear to represent feathers.
