The portraiture of Morning Star/Hawk and members of his family occurs on a sandstone wall in the dark zone of a Missouri cave. Hawk, with his father’s head/upper torso in his right hand and a bow and arrow in his left hand (Fig. 4.2f; see Diaz-Granados and Duncan 2000:Pl. 17), is believed to be among the oldest images in this cave.
