Description
Petroglyph rubbing on webril with dark green ink. From: "Descriptive Catalogue of Petroglyph Prints for the University of Washington from the Dalles Dam Reservoir, 1956" by Mark Hedden. "Masklike face. Eyes as simple circles with two lineur (sic) lines extending to the jaw. Mouth indicated by straight line across arc of lower jaw, with teeth marked. Other features include 'pitcher' ears with lineur (sic) extentions, short series of rays (hair?) along top of head outline, surmounted in turn by a curious 'crown', consisting of a ladder with sides forming a trapezoid. A unique abstraction appears adjacent, a segmented device or ladder design with rounded sides. (Compare this design with 'Tunghat' masks from Alaska. Petroglyphs from Wyoming (Smi. Rept.))
