Figure 115 is a native drawing of a village and neighboring burial-ground, prepared by an Alaskan native in imitation of originals seen by him among the natives of the mainland of Alaska, especially the Aigalúqamut. Carvings are generally on walrus ivory; sometimes on wooden slats. In the figure, No. 7 is a representation of a grave-post in position, bearing an inscription similar in general character to those in the last two preceding figures. [Illustration: FIG. 115.--Village and burial-grounds. Alaska.] The details are explained as follows: No. 1, 2, 3, 4. Various styles of habitations, representing a settlement. 5. An elevated structure used for the storage of food. 6. A box with wrappings, containing the corpse of a child. The small lines, with ball attached, are ornamented appendages consisting of strips of cloth or skin, with charms, or, sometimes, tassels. 7. Grave-post, bearing rude illustrations of the weapons or implements used by a person during his life. 8. A grave scaffold, containing adult.
