content: From card: "Cut into steps for ladder. 7 or 8 steps. It stood under an overhanging rock-shelter of millstone grit, in the mountains on the southern branch of the Warrior R. and was used to mount to a cave or crevice. "This timber was used for reaching the top of a bluff to make interment of the dead.""

content: Reference: pp. 452-453 in Burns, Frank. 1893. "The Crump burial cave. (Blount county, Alabama.)". U. S. National Museum Annual Report for the year ending June 30, 1892. 1893. 24: 451-454. "About five miles north of the Crump Cave, on the mountain of limestone just beneath the overhanging cliff of Millstone Grit, I found and forwarded to the Museum an Indian ladder which stood against the precipice and had been used to mount or climb up to what the people call a "rock house," i.e., a large, roomy, dry place overhanging cliffs of stone, probably used like the cave, for burial purposes. This ladder is the trunk of a cedar tree about 8 inches in diameter, is about 14 feet long, has 7 or 8 steps, 18 or 19 inches apart, made by cutting nto the tree a scarf about 6 inches high and 2 inches deep. Near the foot of the ladder, but out in the open air, was a rock mound of good size, from which some relics had been dug by parties hunting for buried Indian money."

content: "Late 19th century. Bamboo sticks covered with oiled mulberry paper. White, oiled mulberry paper is pasted to the front sides of twenty-seven flat bamboo ribs (sal), which are fastened with a steel rivet at the bases. The number of sections or bamboo ribs used for fans vary; in China, folding fans for men have sixteen or twenty sections or at most twenty-four, while women's fans never have less than thirty (Eberhard, 1986: 99). Eberhard claims that "the folding fan appears to have been invented in Korea, does not appear in China till the tenth century AD" (ibid.). Bernadou Field Notes 55 "Large fan, such as used by servants in fanning a nobleman. Of oiled paper and with sticks of bamboo. Made in the southern provinces of Cholla-do and Kyong-sang-do." Collected in Seoul. Ref: Hough Korean Catalog p. 462; Bernadou Field Notes 55." [from: "An Ethnography of the Hermit Kingdom: The J.B.

IN THE LEFT IS A LARGE ANCESTRAL WOMAN CALLED NGJINPILLILINGGOR STANDING ON TOP OF A SAND DUNE AT DJERAKMAN NEAR CAPE STEWART, AND THE OTHER YELLOW RECTANGLES ARE ALSO SAND-DUNES, ENCLOSED BY TWO YAM-STICKS. ON THE LEFT ARE EMU TRACKS, ON THE RIGHT ARE WHITE COCKATOOS FLYING AFTER BEING STARTLED BY THE WOMAN'S APPROACH. THERE ARE ALSO FIVE EMUS AND A SINGLE YAM (JUKUA). THE CENTRAL CROSS HATCHED BAND IS THE TRACK OF A SMALL WHITE SAND CRAB (GUNJAN). TOP RIGHT IS A MAN WHO HAS CAUGHT FOUR FISH BY SPEARING THEM FROM THE ROCKS (ON WHICH HE IS STANDING). HE IS NGURUGUJAMERI, A FISHERMAN. IN THE TOP LEFT IS A DESIGN SHOWING CRAB'S HOLES MADE FROM LEFT TO RIGHT (IN THE ORDER SHOWN BY ARROWS), THE CRABS IN A HOLE, AND THE MAZE OF TRACKS ON THE SAND AROUND EACH HOLE. BETWEEN THESE TWO PANELS IS A TREE. TWO MEN CALLED IKAWUNGA (NOT SHOWN) AND NGURUGUJAMERI APPROACH THIS TREE, SEE THE CRABS DIGGING AROUND IT, AND NGURUGUJAMERI SAYS 'LOOK, IKAWUNGA, I THINK WE CAN MAKE A DRAWING OF THE CRABS AND THEIR HOLES AND TRACKS FOR OURSELVES AND HIDE IT FROM EVERYONE.' THIS THEY DID. NGURUGUJAMERI, AND IKAWUNGA, HOWEVER, SHOWED IT TO THE YOUNG MEN BEFORE THEY DIED AND IT IS NOW KNOWN TO THE TRIBE. THEY SOLD IT TO GUNBORAIK, NANGJIN'S FATHER'S FATHER. IT HAS BEEN INHERITED FROM FATHER TO SON EVER SINCE, CANNOT BE SOLD, AND NOBODY CAN PAINT IT WITHOUT THE PRESENT OWNER'S PERMISSION. THE WOMAN SHOWN IS NGURUGUJAMERI'S WIFE, BOTH JIRITJA IN THE DREAM-TIME: AND SHE IS CARRYING A BARK CONTAINER ON HER HEAD." SEE CARD FOR SMALL ILLUSTRATION OF CRAB'S HOLES/TRACKS.
