The image is a page from a book titled “Indian Sign Talk.” It features three sections, each with a diagram of a hand gesture and corresponding text explaining its meaning. **Section 1 (S. 6):** A diagram shows two fingers of the right hand bent and touching the ground. The text explains this gesture means “Satan, the spirit bad, bad medicine, evil, sin.” The description states to “Fork the first two fingers of the right hand, hold them near the floor or ground at side of foot and then twist the wrist back and forth several times.” **Section 2 (S. 7):** The diagram shows a left forearm in front and being “sawed” with the thin edge of an open right hand. The text explains this gesture means “Saw.” The description states to “Hold the left forearm in front and saw it with the thin edge of the open right hand.” **Section 3 (S. 8 and 9):** The diagram shows a hand gesture with the fingers bent and pointing upwards. The text explains this gesture means “A saved man, salvation.” The description states “This is the same gesture as SAFE, with the right index moved from the safe point out in front or to one side and shown as MAN. (A compound of safe and man).” The page number “144” is visible at the bottom. The overall style is a vintage illustration with black and white line drawings and serif text. The diagrams are simple and focus on the hand positions.
