upper border, the tail. The wing designs in the lateral panels,
next to the lowest head, are the small pectoral fins and the rest of
the lateral fields, the continuous border fin.
The blanket in Fig. 103 (p. 108) represents, according to Emmons,
a diving whale and the lateral fields a raven sitting. The head,
with nostrils and mouth, is shown below. The central face repre-
sents the body. The eyes near the upper border are the flukes of the
tail. The face designs at the sides of the body represent the fins.
In the lateral panels is
shown a raven sitting.
According to Swanton the
same blanket represents
a wolf with young. The
head is shown below.
The hind-legs and hip-
joints are represented by
two large eyes and the
adjoining ornaments along Fig. 205. Chilkat blanket,
the upper border, the two
dark segments just over the eye, being the feet. The face in the
middle of the design represents, as usual, the body of the animal.
The small eye design, with adjoining ear and wing feather designs,
in the middle on each side of the body, are interpreted as fore-leg
and foot. The lateral panels are explained as representing each a
young wolf sitting.
There are also considerable discrepancies in the explanation of
the blanket shown in fig. 205. According to Emmons it represents
a killer-whale. In each lower corner is one half of the head with
teeth; right in front of the teeth, the nostril; between the two halves
of the head, in the lower border of the blanket, the tail. The
inverted face in the middle of the upper border, represents the body.
The large square designs containing the goggle design, on each side,
are interpreted as water blown out from the blow-hole. One half
of the dorsal fin is indicated by a small round wing feather design
