Antelope Altar, Walpi. The alter in the Antelope Kiva is a mosaic of sand, ceremonially made, in brown, red, white, yellow, green and black. The zigzag lines typifying lightening which brings rain. Around it stand clan emblems, fetishes, priests' jugs and bahos, or paryer-sticks made of two sticks tied together with a bundle of feathers; also bowls of sacred cornmeal and rattles.
