Note 46 — THE RUIN, SIKYATKI
Reading edition
The author has a drawing of the Snake altar at Mishongnovi by an Indian, in which these crooks are not represented vertically but horizontally, a position illustrating a common method of drawing among primitive people who often represent vertical objects on a horizontal plane. An illustration of this is seen in pictures of a medicine bowl where the terraces on the rim normally vertical are drawn horizontally.
