One of the two sand paintings is a
copy of the kind of picture made for
the annual ceremonial of the Moki
women's festival to the Germ God,
which takes place in September. The
work of art is executed during the
progress of the secret rites. It rep
resents two figures in an elaborate
frame of different colors. On the left
is a likeness of La-kone-ma-na, the
patroness of the affair. She is clad in
a white blanket. On the right is a por
trait of one of the twin gods of war,
who carries a zigzag of lightning in
his bands.
