Vertical COURTING: Man in Black Blanket, Woman in Blue Blanket, and Chaperone in Blue Dress Here the man holds the woman within his blanket. He has an outline of dark hair and red-wrapped braids. His blanket is completely dark, and he below it, he wears the dark leggings with vertical stripe visible in other plates. Two long red breechclout flaps fall below his legs in the drawing. A tomahawk floats at arm level, with two streamers at the end (see Plates 25 and 26). The tomahawk connotes a formal occasion, and it appears in Plates 25 and 26. Candace Greene discusses the simultaneity of Cheyenne ledger art: �Every figure fills a number of categories simultaneously (male, Cheyenne, warrior, shield bearer, etc.), and our attention is brought to bear upon a particular one only by contrast with the other figure in the picture� (1985: 67). This principle is evident in all the drawings, especially those with suitor/hunter/warrior figures to the right. A tomahawk from a war context (Plates 25 and 26) used in a courtship suggests the struggle of courtship. The woman is lifted completely off her feet in this drawing, and she is partially within his black blanket. She has long braids lying against her shoulders. She wears a blue blanket, with two decorative side panels inserted into her dress showing below the blanket (see Karen Petersen, 1983: 288, fig. 132). She has three stripes or �trails� around her ankles. In the distance is a chaperone dressed all in blue�dress, dress panel or �tabs,� and leggings. She has red facepaint on the lower part of her face, long dark hair falling down her back, and extended hands with fingers spread open. She wears the same type of decorated belt seen in Plates 7 and 28, perhaps German silver conchos mounted on fabric.
