Chilkat blanket. The design is interpreted as a Killer Whale motive. Above the lower fringe are two kites in profile. Above these the mouth and teeth of the whale, whose nostrils are central in the mouth. The whale s eyes are just above, the figure between them representing water from the blowhole, which is indicated by the central human face. The body of the whale is denoted by the upper face, the figures on either side of the two faces representing fins. The upper eyes represent the lobes of the whale's tail; the figure between them, the dorsal fin. After MAM iii, Plate XXVII.
