AN ARROW

AN ARROW

This very pretty figure was shown to me by the two girls from whom I learned the other Navaho figures, at the St. Louis Exposition, in November, 1904. The native name is Ka= an Arrow.

First: Opening A. (The left palmar string must be taken up first.)

Second: The same as the Second movement of "Casting the Fish-Spear."

Third: Pass the right thumb away from you over the right far thumb string and under all the other strings, and, as you begin to return the thumb, catch on its

back the right far little finger string, and draw it back under the right near little finger string and the strings of the right index loop (Fig. 294 , Right hand).

Fourth: With the teeth pick up from the right thumb this right far little finger string, which you have just drawn toward you, remove the right thumb (Fig. 295),
