Having been pushed through a hole in the sky dome, the Sky Woman falls toward the primeval sea. Most elements in this illustration can be recognized from the synopsis of the myth found in the text. The artist, Jesse Cornplanter, was a Seneca ritualist and singer. His drawings of Longhouse religion dances and ceremonies, produced while he was in his teens, adorned the studies published by Arthur C. Parker. This sketch illustrated Cornplanter's own book on Iroquois mythology (Legends of the Longhouse). His illustration of the story includes the episode found in several variants of the myth in which a comet (or panther) encounters the woman as she falls.
