Note 90 — RUINS IN TUSAYAN (continued 2)

There are many fine pictographs, some of which are evidently ancient, on the cliffs of the Awatobi mesa. These are in no respect characteristic, and among them I have seen the awata (bow), honani (badger's paw), tcüa (snake), and omowûh (rain-cloud). On the side of the precipitous wall of the mesa south of the western mounds there is a row of small hemispherical depressions or pits, with a groove or line on one side. There is likewise, not far from this point, a realistic figure of a vulva, not very unlike the asha symbols on Thunder mountain, near Zuñi.
