- Comment:
- Photo: "AAE, II, 4, p 134, Fig 191". Page 136 of AAE, II, 4: "The common design whose elements are parallelograms is called by the Hupa niLkuitdasaan, on top of each other. While this design itself is generally identical in shape with the corre- sponding Yurok and Karok flint designs, its name is altogether different. Several forms are shown in figures 188 to 191. Inas- much as the name has reference only to the relative position of the component elements, and not to their shape, it is perfectly applicable to the pattern shown in figure 191, though this design corresponds much rather to the Yurok elk or ladder than to the flint design." Noted as missing in 1992. Could be TB-4, pattern matches.
