Henwa

* "Found on Upper Klamath Lake on McCornack Point by Frank McCornack.  This Stone shows greater antiquity than most.  One side was washed clean by the waves of the lake; the other has an accumulation of mineral where it was protected from the water.  The McCornack hewas is larger than most; it weighs twenty-three pounds and is thirteen inches tall.  It has the characteristic arms and even shows a tiny split or division at the top like the Chiloquin henwas."
From the Book "Ancient Modocs of California and Oregon" by Carol B. Howe
