An Anthropomorphic panel. This represents two shamen and a shawoman, dressed in costumes. The shamen are costumed as the buffalo with wings, perhaps to show they belong to the spirit-world; the shawoman is dressed to represent the Bird woman or Thunder Bird. There are several Symbolic designs below the figure.]]> http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/]]>
An Anthropmorphic figure of a woman. The artist has devoted himself to a real study of the model. He has showed a decorative design around the neck and a belt around the waist, the female organs and the fact that she has given birth to twins- (a boy and a girl). This was no doubt recorded after the birth. To the right appears a circle and a figure of another human. The circle represents the "Moon House" in which the woman lived for one month after the birth of her children.]]> http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/]]>
This is the complete panel of the preceding figure (Plate 6). The following is my own interpretation. At the right we see the same woman who has given birth to twins. This multiple birth was considered a disgrace to any Indian woman, hence it was recorded. The circle to the extreme right indicates the "moon house" where she was confined for a month after the birth of her children. This was the custom for all women. Above the circle appears a figure which may be a member of her family. TO the left of the mother appears the figure of the mid-wife who assisted her. The three smaller figures appear to the extreme left. These two are members of her family and they have their backs turns, since it a disgrace for them for the women to have given birth to the twins.]]> http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/]]>
An anthropomorphic and zoomorphic panel. There are four anthropmorphic figures; three are of women. The artist has represented the head-dresses and female organs. The figure of an elk (zoomorphic) appears in the center. There are also symbolic designs scattered through the panel. I believe the figure to the left indicates a "Morphodite" which is common among Indians.]]> http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/]]>
