Text Appearing Before Image:
PRIMITIVE ART 31 the cock, while the oval (c) is an object which it is supposed to hold. This object is found in a great many representations of the cock, and may be said to be one of its prime characteristics. The tail of the cock has the form of a fish, and is shown at the point b. The center of the second set of spirals (g) has the form of a fish, which is always symbolized by a small circle attached to an elongated body. It is very pecuHar that practically all the spirals and curved de- signs of these tribes have been developed into the cock motive, because the cock was not known to the tribes of the Amur River until quite re- cently. The use of this motive, and par- ticularly also the fre- quent occurrence of the round object which is in its beak, indicates that this motive is of foreign origin. It is evidently the same as the cock in China which holds the sun in its beak. It is interesting to note that, among this tribe also, the form and ornamentation of objects used in religious ceremonials are much more realistic than purely decorative motives. Thus we find the coat of a shaman (Case 14 c)> on which is painted a mythological representation of the world-tree, representing the conception of the world that is current among the tribe. Going back through Hall 102, the visitor passes the Eskimo collections, and attention is called to the fact that very few im- plements and objects made by the Eskimo are decorated, except their clothing, which bears designs of dark and white caribou- skin.
