Comment:
Native name and meaning: "ulita". Central Miwok informants called the horizontal zigzag motif (arrowheads) by the Miwok word "kitceya". "Yololi is a generic term for zigzag designs. "Ono" was (is) a term for diamonds and, according to Samuel A. Barrett, was derived from the Spanish "oro". "Oro", which means gold in Spanish, was thus changed to "ono", which also referred to gold among the Miwok. Photo: 15-4877. Published: Milw. Publ. Mus. Bull. v. 2, pl. 48.
