Sand Mosaic - Apache

_From Copyright Photograph 1907 by E.S. Curtis_

This pictures an Apache dry-painting employed in an attempt to cure a

paralytic about the year 1882. The several figures are crude

representations of masked deities--_gaun_. The wavy lines are lightning

symbols. The patient entered upon the central figure, when the colored

earths were gathered from about him and rubbed upon his body by masked men

personating the _gaun_.
