ONE END OF THE ROPE HAS A SLIP NOOSE, WHILE THE OTHER HAS BEEN PROLONGED 2 FEET BY THE ADDITION OF A BUCKSKIN THONG. SEE OTHER SIDE: THIS ARTICLE IS ACCULTURAL. THE SERI INDIANS DO NOT POSSESS DOMESTIC ANIMALS OTHER THAN DOGS, AND OBTAIN HORSEHAIR ONLY BY STEALTH OR BY ROBBERY FROM NEIGHBORING RANCHES. THE PREVAILING HAIR ROPES ARE MADE OF HUMAN HAIR."
