A beaded cradle is shown in Fig. 15. Dark-blue triangles rep- resent tents. Green rectangles, with three projections at each end, represent brush-shelters or sun-shades,with the poles on which they stand. A long red stripe is a path. Around the edge of the cradle are marks that are blue, red, and yellow. These represent piles of stones marking the extent of the camp-circle. At the bot- tom a border passing completely around the cradle represents the camp-circle of tents. At the very top an attached square with a broad cross in it represents the morning star.
