New Deal, 1933-1939.; Petroglyphs -- Wyoming.
Description
Dinwoody Plate 52
This design, I believe, represents a Crow burial. The top part designates the wrapped body and it is resting on a tree or platform. There is no doubt of Crow workmanship, as the Shoshoni do not bury their dead in this manner. Of course it also might be a symbolic design.
