To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
265 The painting was obliterated in the usual manner and the sand carried out and deposited at the base of a pinon tree some 200 yards from the lodge.
EIGHTH DAY.
The grinding of the paint began at daylight, and just at sunrise the artists commenced their work. When any mistake occurred, which was very seldom, it was obliterated by sifting the ground color over it.

The rapidi...ty with which these paints are handled is quite remarkable, particularly as most of the lines are drawn entirely by the eye. After the completion of the painting, each figure being three and a half feet long, corn pollen was sprinkled over the whole by the song priest. (See illustration, PI.
CXXIII.) The corn stalk in the picture signifies the main subsistence of life; the square bas^ and triangle are clouds, and the three white lines at the base of the corn stalk denote the roots of the corn.
